Fumaric acid
110-17-8
Overview : With MA, FA is one of polybasic acids, and is used as material of unsaturated polyester resin. As part of developing various usages for high value-added product production, Aekyung Petrochemical Co., Ltd. has manufactured and sold high purity FA through the isomerization of MAC.
Through strict quality control, Aekyung Petrochemical Co.,Ltd. has manufactured and sold FA for industrial and food supplement since 1992. However, with the rising demand for MA , the production of FA was suspended in 1998. Currently, review on expanding capacity to retrieve FA is under progress and FA will be manufactured at the earliest possible date.
