1. An important chemical synthesis intermediate - Itaconic acid
Itaconic acid is called methylidene succinic acid, methylene succinic acid.
Itaconic acid is an unsaturated dibasic organic acid. It contains
unsaturated double bonds and has active chemical properties. Itaconic
acid can be polymerized by itself and also can be polymerized with other
monomers, such as acrylonitrile. Itaconic acid can carry out various
addition reactions, esterification reactions and polymerization reactions.
For the reason that, itaconic acid is an important raw material for the
chemical synthesis industry and an important raw material for chemical
production too.
1, Itaconic acid and its polymer can be made into a high-efficiency
deodorant by adding a small amount of natural substances. It can react
with acid odorous substances such as ammonia, amine alkaline odor and
hydrogen sulfide, and can also be made into paper with deodorizing
function , plastic film and other products.
2, Itaconic acid and styrene and butadiene copolymer can be made into
SBR latex, and it can be used for paper coating, making paper tough and

2. printed patterns bright; it can be used in metal, concrete coatings, easy
to color and not affected by natural conditions; Used in paint additives to
improve paint quality; used in carpet sizing to make synthetic carpets
durable.
3, Itaconic acid is polymerized with acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or its
ester to form a resin for surface coating and emulsion paint. As a leather
coating, itaconic acid can increase the plasticity of leather ;and it is used
as an adhesive for automobiles, electrical appliances and cold storage,
which has the advantages of strong adhesion, beautiful color and
weather resistance; it can be made by adding multivalent metal oxides
Dental adhesive with good extrusion performance, strong adhesion and
good physiological adaptability; adding chloroalkyl dimethyl benzyl
ammonium chloride can be made into water-soluble coatings for food
packaging materials, reducing packaging materials Surface bacterial
contamination.
4, Itaconic acid is made into esters, and it can be used in paints, weakly
acidic ion exchange resins, lubricant additives, binders and plasticizers,
powdered plastics and sealants.
5, Itaconic acid used in other derivatives can be used as pharmaceuticals,
cosmetic agents, lubricants, thickeners, herbicides and improve the
performance of silk wool.

3. 6, Itaconic acid is a raw material for the production of citraconic acid,
mesaconic acid, itaconic anhydride and the like.
