Application | |
Application | Succinic acid is a precursor to some polyesters and a component of some alkyd resins.A key derivative of succinic acid, 1,4-butanediol (BDO), has major industrial applications. The global market size for BDO was estimated at USD 4.72 billion in 2013. BDO is a precursor to the common organic solvent THF and a precursor to polybutylene terephthalate (PBT), an engineering-grade thermoplastic. |
