Itaconic acid CAS 97-65-4

Itaconic Acid is a bio-based unsaturated dicarboxylic acid produced through the fermentation of carbohydrates by microorganisms such as Aspergillus terreus. As a renewable platform chemical, it features a unique molecular structure containing two carboxyl groups and one conjugated double bond, enabling its widespread use in polymer synthesis, resin modification, and green chemistry. Itaconic acid is considered an environmentally friendly alternative to petroleum-based acrylic and methacrylic acids, playing a significant role in sustainable industrial development.
