What is Glutaric Acid CAS 110-94-1?

Glutaric Acid, also called pentanedioic acid, is a linear C5 dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C5H8O4 and a molecular weight of 132.11. It is normally supplied as a white to almost white powder or crystalline solid.

What are the main industrial uses of Glutaric Acid?

It is used as a chemical building block in organic synthesis, polyester and polyester polyol production, polyamide preparation, ester plasticizers, surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and specialty material development. It is supplied for laboratory, pilot, and industrial-scale processing rather than as a finished-use product.

How is Glutaric Acid used in polyester and polyamide synthesis?

Its two terminal carboxylic acid groups allow it to react with alcohols, amines, or related monomers to form ester and amide linkages. The five-carbon chain can be used to adjust polymer architecture, elasticity, and performance in polyester, polyester polyol, and polyamide systems.

What are typical specifications for CAS 110-94-1?

Commercial grades are commonly specified at 98-99% or higher purity with a melting point around 95-100 C. It is soluble in water, has a molecular weight of 132.11, and is normally supplied as a white to almost white solid.

How should Glutaric Acid be stored and handled?

Store it tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture, strong bases, and incompatible materials. Use suitable PPE and avoid inhalation of dust; supplier recommendations vary from cool dark room-temperature storage to refrigerated storage, so follow the current SDS.

Product Description

Glutaric Acid CAS 110-94-1, also called pentanedioic acid, is a linear C5 dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C5H8O4 and EINECS 203-817-2.

Synonym: Pentanedioic acid.

CAS: 110-94-1.

Molecular formula: C5H8O4.

It is a white to almost white powder or crystalline solid with a molecular weight of about 132.11.

Melting point is about 96-100 °C; it is solid at room temperature and soluble in water.

Commercial grades are commonly specified at 98-99% or higher purity.

In organic synthesis it is a chemical building block for industrial intermediate use and related chemical processing.

In polyester and polyester polyol production its two terminal carboxylic acid groups form ester linkages, allowing adjustment of polymer architecture and elasticity.

In polyamide preparation it forms amide linkages with amines or related monomers for specialty material development.

It is also used in ester plasticizers, surfactants, and corrosion inhibitors.

It is supplied for laboratory, pilot, and industrial-scale processing rather than as a finished-use product.

Store tightly closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from moisture, strong bases, and incompatible materials.

Handle with suitable PPE and standard industrial hygiene; avoid skin/eye contact and inhalation of dust.

Use adequate ventilation and follow standard chemical handling procedures, and review the latest SDS before storage, transfer, sampling, or process use.

Every batch is controlled by identity, assay, melting point, and related-impurity checks, with COA/TDS/SDS supplied per grade.

Confirm appearance, assay, melting point, related impurities, packaging, and grade as required.
