Product Name: Succinic acid (Butanedioic acid)
Brand: Kemaus (Product Code: KA-528)
Grade: Analytical Reagent (AR Grade) with a premium purity of 99 percent or higher. Manufactured and tested under the strict laboratory quality control guidelines of Kemaus, ensuring exceptionally low trace contamination of heavy metals, sulfates, and chlorides for supreme analytical baseline reliability.
Physical Properties: Odorless, white crystalline powder or colorless to white crystals with a highly acidic taste.
Solubility: Soluble in water (solubility increases significantly in hot water); soluble in alcohol and acetone.
Key Use: Widely utilized as a premium precursor for preparing laboratory buffer solutions to stabilize acidic conditions, especially within the pH 3.5 to 6.0 window. Heavily applied as a chemical intermediate and versatile reactant in organic synthesis for manufacturing succinate esters. Used in biochemical and metabolic research to study the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) pathways, and functions as a dependable reference standard in pharmaceutical and food industrial quality control laboratories.

Safety & Hazards

Classification: Causes serious eye damage. Acts as a mild physical respiratory and skin irritant.
Health Risks: Direct eye contact triggers immediate, intense stinging irritation, watering, redness, and potential corneal injury due to its acidic nature. Inhalation of fine airborne dust particles may cause coughing, sneezing, or mild upper respiratory tract discomfort. Prolonged skin contact can induce minor localized irritation.
First Aid Measures: Flush eyes immediately with plenty of flowing water for at least 15 minutes. Wash affected skin thoroughly with soap and water. Seek medical advice if irritation develops or persists.

Handling & Storage

Storage: Store in the original, tightly sealed Kemaus container. Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated space at stable room temperature (below 30 degrees Celsius). Highly stable under standard environmental storage conditions, but shield from high humidity and direct sunlight.
Precautions: Wear standard personal protective equipment (PPE), including laboratory gloves, safety glasses, and a particulate dust mask. Avoid generating large airborne dust clouds during routine handling.
