1)Third monomer of acrylic fibres:The acrylic fibres of using itaconic acid as the third monomer is easy to dye,and is known as standard product of international acrylic fibres,Prescription :1.3-1.8%.

    2)Cementing agent : The plastics and coating which are produced by using itaconic acid of 1-5 percent and styrene to coplymize possess the advantages of light,easy to paint,isolation,waterproof and corrosionproof;can use to make glass fibre reinforced plastic of high strength or as coat of carpet,the face of paper.

   3)Binder material: The acrylic emulsion of containing itaconi acid is excellent binder of non-weaving fibre.The monomeric PVC binder ofcontaining itaconic acid is good binder of paper and celluloid.

   4)Binder of dentistry:The binder of dentistry which is made from itaconic acid-acrylic acid and multivalence metal oxide possesses good antipressure property and physiological adaptaility.

   5)Special lens :The polymer of containing itaconic acid possesses special luster and transparetness,suitable for making artificial gem and special lens.

   6)Agent of eliminating dirt:The polymer of itaconic acid and acrylic acid is a kind of high molecule chelator,possesses the special effect of resisting the formation of alkaline calcium and alkaline magnesium dirt in water treatment,and can be used to clean boilers or cooling implements.

   7)Other usages:The pyrrole alkyalkone derivative which compounded by itaconic acid and aromatic diamine is good additive of lubricating agent,detergent,medicines or weed killer.Itaconic acid and its esters are good additive of making synthetic fibre,plastics and surface active agent.

PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
EXPOSURE STANDARDS
No value assigned for this specific material by the National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (Worksafe Australia.)
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
Use in area with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in dusty environment. Ventilation equipment should be explosion resistant if explosive concentrations of material are present. Keep containers closed when not in use.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
Avoid skin and eye contact and inhalation of dust. Wear overalls, chemical safety glasses or goggles and impervious gloves. Respiratory protection is required in a dusty environment. Use approved dust/mist respirator or an air-purifying respirator with a high efficiency particulate filter. Use with adequate ventilation. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet.
FLAMMABILITY
Not flammable material. Dust at sufficient concentration can cause an explosion hazard.

SAFE HANDLING INFORMATION
STORAGE AND TRANSPORT
Store in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight. Store in a well ventilated area. Store away from oxidising agents, incompatible materials & foodstuffs. Keep containers closed when not in use.
Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Do not breathe dust.
SPILLS
Isolate the spillage area. Increase ventilation. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination and inhalation of dust. Sweep up but avoid generating dust. Collect and seal in properly labelled drums for disposal. If contamination of sewers or waterways has occurred advise the local emergency services.
