3-hydroxypropionic Acid is a named chemical substance, salt or derivative supplied within an identified composition specification.

Product & engineering
Understand the product.
The 3-hydroxypropionic Acid industry can be broken down into several segments, Chemical Synthesis, Microbial Fermentation, etc. Across the world, the major players cover Cargill, Novozymes, etc. 3-Hydroxypropionic acid is a carboxylic acid, specifically a beta hydroxy acid. It is an acidic viscous liquid with a pKa of 4.5. It is very soluble in water, soluble in ethanol and diethyl ether. Upon distillation, it dehydrates to form acrylic acid. 3-Hydroxypropionic acid is used in the industrial production of various chemicals such as acrylates. It can be produced by engineered microbes. 3-hydroxypropionic Acid is a key intermediate in the manufacturing process of bio-acrylic acid.
The full chemical identity, positional or stereochemical form, assay and carrier define the supplied material. An acid, its salt and a formulated downstream product should not be treated as identical transactions.
