Glutaric Acid CAS 110-94-1

1. Glutaric acid is primarily used as a raw material and key intermediate in organic synthesis for producing polyester polyols, polyamides, ester plasticizers, and synthetic resins . It also serves as a precursor for synthesizing surfactants, corrosion inhibitors, and metal finishing compounds .
2. The compound is widely utilized in polymer production as a monomer to decrease polymer elasticity and as a building block for biodegradable polymers . Glutaric acid CAS 110-94-1 is also used in the synthesis of nylon fibers (via reaction with hexamethylenediamine) and PET plastics (via reaction with ethylene glycol) .
3. Applications of Glutaric acid include its use in pharmaceutical development as an intermediate for drugs (including antibiotics, anticancer agents, and treatments for neurological disorders), as a food additive and preservative, and in cosmetics as a pH adjuster and stabilizer .

1. Store Glutaric acid in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated place, protected from light and moisture . Recommended storage temperatures include ambient conditions (room temperature), refrigeration (4±4°C), or long-term storage in a cool, dark place below 15°C .
2. Keep Glutaric acid away from strong oxidizing agents, strong reducing agents, and strong bases, as these materials are incompatible and may cause hazardous reactions . It should also be separated from alkalis .
3. Always Glutaric acid CAS 110-94-1 use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) including chemical-resistant gloves, safety goggles, and protective clothing when handling Glutaric acid to avoid skin, eye, and respiratory contact . Avoid dust formation and use with adequate ventilation or in a fume hood.

1. Immediately isolate the spill area, eliminate all ignition sources, and avoid generating dust. Contain Glutaric acid using inert, non-combustible absorbent material and prevent entry into drains or waterways .
2. Sweep up Glutaric acid CAS 110-94-1 or shovel the spilled Glutaric acid solid using non-sparking tools, moistening first if appropriate to prevent dusting, and place the collected material into a sealed, labeled chemical waste container for proper disposal according to local, state, and federal environmental regulations .
3. Personnel must wear suitable PPE, including self-contained breathing apparatus if necessary, during cleanup. After removal, wash away residues with plenty of water . Glutaric acid is classified for transport as UN3261 (Hazard Class 8, Packing Group I) .

1. Glutaric acid is classified as a combustible solid (GHS signal word "Warning") . It causes skin irritation (H315), serious eye irritation (H319 - Category 2A), and may cause respiratory irritation (H335) . The compound is harmful if swallowed, inhaled, or absorbed through the body via its aerosol .
2. Glutaric acid is a medium-strong acid in aqueous solution, with a melting point of 95-98°C, a boiling point of 302-304°C (decomposes), and a density of 1.4 g/cm³ . It is soluble in water (63.9 g/100 mL at 20°C) . Thermal decomposition produces irritating and toxic fumes including carbon oxides (CO, CO₂) .
3. Always consult Glutaric acid CAS 110-94-1 the specific Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for Glutaric acid for complete hazard information, first-aid procedures (P305+P351+P338 for eyes, P302+P352 for skin, P304+P340 for inhalation), and handling instructions. Precautionary statements include P260 (do not breathe dust), P280 (wear protective gloves/eye protection), and P235 (store in a cool dry place) .
