3-hydroxypropionic Acid
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.
The commercial boundary
Use the selected edition’s stated product level, geography, years and measurement basis. Materials, components, finished systems and services are separate commercial boundaries unless that edition explicitly combines them.
Which full identity and supplied form define this chemical?
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.
