Succinic acid
Succinic acid – the key to the future of helping the earth’s environmental protection
Succinic acid, also known as amber acid, is listed as one of 12 high value-added bio-based platform chemicals by the U.S. Department of Energy and is widely used in degradable plastics, fibers, coatings, pharmaceuticals, food and other fields. Traditional petroleum-based succinic acid uses maleic anhydride as raw material, and its production process is accompanied by large amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and the need to treat three wastes. AHB's bio-based succinic acid uses corn starch and other renewable resources as raw materials, breaking away from the traditional energy and industrial system where non-renewable resources such as coal, oil and natural gas are the main raw materials, and brings more Efficacy to global customers and a low-carbon, sustainable choice.

Functions

  • Bio-based succinic acid can produce bio-based 1,4-butanediol (BDO) through esterification and hydrogenation.
  • Succinic acid and BDO are both core raw materials of the completely biodegradable polymer PBS. PBS has very good biodegradability and is widely used in tableware, film products and packaging fields.
  • Succinic acid is also widely used in dimethyl succinate (DMS), succinimide, polyester polyols, disodium succinate, surfactants, etc., to assist the fields of coatings, paints, fibers, pharmaceuticals, food, etc. With the continuous popularization of green and environmental protection concepts, bio-based succinic acid has gradually become an important alternative to petroleum-based succinic acid.
