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.
