ABOUT SUCCINIC ACID

The estimated 2010 worldwide use of succinic acid is around 20,000 to

30,000 tonnes per year and this is on the increase by around 10 per cent a
year.

Succinic acid is a colorless crystalline solid with a melting point of 185-187

C. It is soluble in water, slightly dissolves in ethanol, ether, acetone and
glycerine. It does not dissolve in benzene, carbon sulfide, carbon
tetrachloride or oil

ASIA PACIFIC DEMAND

The Asia-Pacific is the most promising market for 1,4 butanediol and is anticipated
to be the same in the near future. The Asia-Pacific is the largest market of 1,4
butanediol, which accounted for a share of 56.34% the total demand in 2013. The
demand for 1,4 butanediol in the region is projected to register a CAGR of 6.77%, in
terms of volume, between 2014 and 2019. It is estimated that China was the
biggest consumers of 1,4 butanediol in the region. China is also the fastest-growing
market for 1,4 butanediol globally, and is projected to register a CAGR of 9.95%
between 2014 and 2019.

1,4-Butanediol's largest use is within tetr

ahydrofuran (THF) production, used to make
polytetramethylene ether glycol, which goes mainly into spandex fibers, urethane
elastomers, and copolyester ethers. The next largest outlet is engineering plastic
polybutylene terephthalate (PBT). Sizable quantities of 1,4-BD are also used to make
gamma-butyrolactone, which has outlets in electronics, pharmaceuticals, and
agrochemicals, as well as high-performance polymers. Miscellaneous uses include
solvents, coating resins, and pharmaceutical intermediates
