SUCCINIC ACID ACS (C005B-007687)

Application

Succinic acid may be employed in the following studies:

• Surfactant/detergent extender/foaming agent
• As ion chelator in the electroplating process
• As a precursor for various industrially important chemicals such as adipic acid, 1,4-butanediol, tetrahydrofuran, N-methyl pyrrolidinone, 2-pyrrolidinone, succinate salts, and γ-butyrolactone
• Synthesis of biodegradable polymers such as polybutyrate succinate (PBS) and polyamides.
