Description
Maleic acid is an organic dicarboxylic acid offered at a minimum purity of 99 % in Ph.Eur. and BP pharmacopoeia quality. Identified by CAS number 110-16-7 and the empirical formula C₄H₄O₄, it has a molar mass of 116,07 g/mol and a density of 1,59 g/cm³. Further physical data include a boiling point of 157,8 °C and a flash point of 127 °C, which support handling and process assessments in the laboratory. The product is Maleic acid is used as a building block for maleate salts and derivatives, in copolymer chemistry, and as a pharmacopoeia-compliant reagent in quality-control and formulation studies. Material from manufacturer Carl ROTH fits research, teaching, and industrial laboratory environments that need a clearly specified unsaturated dicarboxylic acid. Defined molar mass, density, and purity help maintain reproducibility across titrations, multi-step syntheses, and routine analytical protocols.

Questions about Maleic acid, min. 99 %, Ph.Eur., BP, 500 g, plastic
What is this article?
Maleic acid, min. 99 %, Ph.Eur., BP, 500 g, plastic is the article on this page. Luminix Health distributes Carl Roth for laboratory use. It sits in Acids, inside Acids & bases, in Lab chemicals.
An acid on this shelf is the substance itself, concentrated or as a stated solution: hydrochloric, sulfuric, nitric, acetic and the rest. Concentration, purity and the trace metals decide the use. A concentrated acid and a volumetric solution of the same name are different products, and both burn.
An acid donates a proton. A base accepts one. In the bottle, the practical differences are the concentration, the purity and the anion or cation that comes along. Concentrated mineral acids are a different article from a dilute volumetric solution. The water in the acid, and the trace metals, decide whether it can be used for analysis. Check the substance on PubChem and the classification on ECHA CLP. Transport is the UNECE dangerous-goods framework. The legal texts are the CLP Regulation and REACH.
Which category should I open next?
The category is Acids & bases. The sub-category is Acids. The catalogue is Lab chemicals.
