The use of fumaric acid

Fumaric acid is an important organic chemical raw materials and fine chemical products, which is widely used in food, pharmaceutical, chemical, paint, resin, plasticizers and other fields. Industrial fumaric acid is mainly used for production of unsaturated polyester resins and alkyd resins, as well as raw materials to produce electrophoresis paint. The copolymer of fumaric acid and styrene is a raw material for production of glass fiber reinforced plastic, it is an excellent binder with vinyl acetate copolymer. Fumaric acid acts as an important platform of four-carbon compound also through the enzyme catalysis, ester, hydrogenation processes to produce  l-aspartic acid, Malic acid, succinic acid, maleic acid, 1,4-Butanediol, gamma-butyrolactone, tetrahydrofuran and other four-carbon compound.

The purity is higher than 99% food grade fumaric acid is the pure taste sour agents, sodium fumarate made by fumaric acid and sodium carbonate is a flavor enhancer for food additives. Fumaric acid can be used to produce antidotes medicine dimercaptosuccinic acid sodium, the replacement product of fumaric acid sodium and ferrous sulfate is iron fumarate that is widely used in the medical treatment of human red blood cell anemia. Ester derivatives of fumaric acid including dimethyl fumarate, diethyl ester, dibutyl ester, etc.

Fumaric acid in food is mainly used in meat, fish and meat processing. Fumaric acid can be used as acidity regulators, acidifier, antioxidant additives, pickling accelerant and spices. It has a strong cushion to keep pH3.0 aqueous, and it has an important role in antibacterial mildew as well. It is astringent, one of the most sour solid acids and low absorption rate, can help extend the shelf life of powder products. Chemical synthesis of fumaric acid include maleic anhydride (maleic anhydride) method of heterogeneous and furfural oxidation. Maleic anhydride is widely used in synthetic resin, paint, pesticides, lubricating oil additives, pharmaceuticals, paper handling, food additives, stabilizers and so on, it is a large organic material. Furfural is important organic chemical raw materials obtained by hydrolysis based on agricultural, forestry and by-products.  It has a very wide range of uses in  pharmaceuticals, veterinary drugs, pesticides, dyes, fragrances, paints, plastics and electrical insulating materials, auxiliaries, reagents, solvents, adhesives, animal feed additives, food, synthetic resin, synthetic rubber, synthetic fiber monomer, etc. If you have interest, please click here, thanks!
