# Laboratory analysis and determination of itaconic acid (CAS No.97-65-4)

## You are looking to analyze and determine itaconic acid content in your products

Itaconic acid (CAS No.97-65-4) or methylenesuccinic acid is an organic fermentation product which takes the form of a white solid.

Itaconic acid is mainly used as a co-monomer in the production of biodegradable [polymers](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory.md) in the packaging industry. It is also used in the production of [paint](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/polymer-materials-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-analysis-paint-varnish.md) and coatings, it also has uses in the [pharmaceutical](https://filab.fr/en/sectors-of-activity/health-pharmaceutical-cosmetics/laboratory-analysis-pharmaceutical-formulations.md) industry and can even be used as an herbicide.
