Main use | 1. Itaconic acid and its polymer add a small amount of natural substances can be made into efficient deodorant, with ammonia, amine alkaline odor and hydrogen sulfide and other acidic odor reaction, can also be made with deodorant function of paper, plastic film and other products. 2, itaconic acid and styrene and butadiene copolymerization can be made into S.B.R latex, can be used for paper coating, so that the paper is strong and strong and the printing pattern is bright; Used for metal, concrete coating, easy to color and not affected by natural conditions; For paint additives can improve the quality of paint; For carpet sizing can make the synthetic fiber carpet durable. 3, itaconic acid and acrylic acid or methacrylic acid or its ester polymerization resin, can be used for surface coating and emulsion paint. As a leather coating can increase the plasticity of leather; Used for automobile, electrical appliances, cold storage coatings with strong adhesion, color and appearance and resistance to adverse weather and other advantages; Used as electrophoretic coating with excellent adhesion; the addition of polyvalent metal oxide can be made into a dental adhesive with good extrusion performance, strong adhesion and good physiological adaptability. The addition of chloroalkyl dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride can be made into a water-soluble coating for food packaging materials, bacterial contamination of the packaging surface can be reduced. 4, itaconic acid esters can be used in paint, weak acid ion exchange resin, lubricating oil additives, binders and plasticizers, powder pressure plastic and sealant. 5, itaconic acid to form other derivatives can be used as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics reagents, lubricants, thickeners, herbicides and improve the performance of silk and wool fabrics. 6. Itaconate is a raw material for the production of citraconic acid, mesaconic acid, itaconic anhydride, etc. |
Application | used as comonomer of polyacrylonitrile fiber, can also be used in the preparation of plasticizers, lubricant additives, etc. Preparation of synthetic fiber, an important monomer of synthetic resin and plastic, ion exchange resin; Can also be used as a carpet mounting agent, paper coating agent, binder, paint dispersion latex. Ester Derivatives of itaconic acid can be used for Copolymerization of styrene and the like or plasticizers of polyvinyl chloride. |
production method | 1. The fermentation method is prepared by the biochemical action of Aspergillus terreus by adding appropriate amount of nitrogen source and inorganic salt to carbohydrate (glucose, starch, etc.). 2. Chemical synthesis according to different sources of raw materials, can be divided into the following two types:(1) to agricultural products as raw materials such raw materials are citric acid, isocitric acid, aconitic acid or its anhydride and so on. With citric acid as raw material, supported phosphate as catalyst, reaction at 290-340 ℃ to obtain citraconic acid, and then heated to 220 ℃ to get itaconic acid. (2) to petrochemical products as raw materials with succinic anhydride or succinic acid Diester as raw materials, thorium salt as catalyst, and formaldehyde reaction, the formation of citraconic acid, and then heated isomerization of itaconic acid. Itaconic acid was synthesized from maleic anhydride by four steps of esterification, addition, methylene and hydrolysis. |
