Itaconic Acid Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Methylenesuccinic Acid
- 2-Methylidenebutanedioic Acid
- 2-Methylenesuccinic Acid
- IA
Itaconic acid supplier for polymer, latex, resin and intermediate buyers in Malaysia. Also called methylenesuccinic acid, 2-methylidenebutanedioic acid, 2-methylenesuccinic acid and IA, this fermentation-derived unsaturated dicarboxylic acid (CAS 97-65-4, C5H6O4) is selected as a bio-based co-monomer and carboxyl-functional intermediate.
Commercial supply is offered as white crystalline powder or crystals in technical and high-purity grades. Technical material serves general industrial co-monomer and intermediate work, while higher purity is requested when tighter impurity control is specified. Packing is confirmed with the quotation.
Typical uses include SBR and acrylic latex co-monomers for adhesion and polymer modification, superabsorbent and dispersant polymers, water-treatment scale inhibitors, detergent builders, unsaturated polyester and bio-based resin synthesis, and selected personal-care or pharmaceutical intermediate routes. Related esters and salts are separate products, not grades of free itaconic acid.
Send the required grade or purity target, application, specification limits, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about itaconic acid
What is itaconic acid used for?
Itaconic acid is a fermentation-derived unsaturated dicarboxylic acid used as a co-monomer and intermediate in SBR and acrylic latex, superabsorbent and dispersant polymers, water-treatment polymers, detergent builders, unsaturated polyester resins and selected personal-care or pharmaceutical intermediate routes.
Is itaconic acid the same as fumaric acid or maleic acid?
No. Itaconic acid is methylenesuccinic acid, CAS 97-65-4, with formula C5H6O4. Fumaric acid, malic acid, maleic chemistry and succinic anhydride are separate products with different identities and should be enquired for on their own pages.
Which itaconic acid grade should I request?
Technical grade crystalline powder is commonly selected for industrial latex, resin and polymer co-monomer work. High-purity material is requested when the formulation or synthesis route needs tighter impurity control. State the target assay and impurity limits with the enquiry.
Are dimethyl itaconate and sodium itaconate grades of itaconic acid?
No. Dimethyl itaconate and sodium itaconate are related ester or salt products, not grades of free itaconic acid. Request free acid powder or crystals here, and enquire separately if an ester or salt is required.
Can packing and documentation be confirmed with the quotation?
Yes. List the preferred pack format and any product documents needed for your receiving or quality process. Available packing, documentation and commercial details are confirmed for the quoted grade.
What details are needed for an itaconic acid price enquiry?
Provide the grade or purity target, application, any assay or impurity limits, quantity and delivery location. Mention preferred packing and documentation so the quotation can address the full requirement.
