Succinic Acid

Succinic Acid (C₄H₆O₄) – Analytical Reagent & Industrial Grade

Product Description

Succinic Acid is a white crystalline dicarboxylic acid that occurs naturally in various plant and animal tissues. It is a versatile compound used in pharmaceuticals, food processing, polymer synthesis, and laboratory research. Known for its mild acidity and excellent reactivity, Succinic Acid serves as a building block for chemical synthesis and a pH regulator in multiple applications.

It is used to manufacture resins, coatings, biodegradable plastics, surfactants, and flavoring agents, as well as in biochemical research as an intermediate in the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle). Its stability, solubility, and low toxicity make it an essential reagent across scientific and industrial sectors.
