General description

Succinic acid, an organic acid is an important building block that has a wide range of synthetic applications. Presently it is synthesized from petrochemical compounds.[1] Due to its increasing demand many bio-based methods have been proposed for its synthesis as an efficient alternative.[1][2][3][4] Its utility as a low shrinkage additive (LSA) in unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) has been investigated.[5]

Application

Succinic acid may be used in the following processes:
  • As a leaching agent in extracting lithium (Li), cobalt from used Li-ion batteries[6] and magnesium from magnesite ore.[7]
  • Synthesis of new elastic polyesters.[8]
  • As a cocrystallising agent in the synthesis of cocrystals with organic molecules.[9]

Questions

1–2 of 2 Questions  
  1. How is shipping temperature determined? And how is it related to the product storage temperature?

    1 answer
    1. Products may be shipped at a different temperature than the recommended long-term storage temperature. If the product quality is sensitive to short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped on wet or dry-ice. If the product quality is NOT affected by short-term exposure to conditions other than the recommended long-term storage, it will be shipped at ambient temperature. As shipping routes are configured for minimum transit times, shipping at ambient temperature helps control shipping costs for our customers. For more information, please refer to the Storage and Transport Conditions document: https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/deepweb/assets/sigmaaldrich/marketing/global/documents/316/622/storage-transport-conditions-mk.pdf

  2. How can I determine the shelf life / expiration / retest date of this product?

    1 answer
    1. If this product has an expiration or retest date, it will be shown on the Certificate of Analysis (COA, CofA). If there is no retest or expiration date listed on the product's COA, we do not have suitable stability data to determine a shelf life. For these products, the only date on the COA will be the release date; a retest, expiration, or use-by-date will not be displayed.
      For all products, we recommend handling per defined conditions as printed in our product literature and website product descriptions. We recommend that products should be routinely inspected by customers to ensure they perform as expected.
      For products without retest or expiration dates, our standard warranty of 1 year from the date of shipment is applicable.
