Uses
Itaconic acid (CAS NO.97-65-4) is primarily used as a co-monomer in the production of styrene-butadiene-acrylonitrile and acrylate latexes with applications in the paper and architectural coating industry.
Production
In nature, itaconic acid is being produced by Aspergillus terreus. Scientists are developing plants to produce itaconic acid. This may allow replacement of petrochemical products by plant based, thus more sustainable, raw material.
