Glutaric anhydride, 98%, Thermo Scientific Chemicals
Description
Glutaric anhydride is used in the production of glutaric acid family pharmaceuticals. Its derivatives are also used in certain corrosion inhibitors, some surfactants and metal finishing compounds. It is also used in the production of polymers, particularly modified unsaturated linear (epoxy) polyesters and as a raw material in the manufacture of flavors. It is also used in improvement of electrode/electrolyte interfaces in High-Voltage Spinel Lithium-Ion batteries as an electrolyte additive.
This Thermo Scientific Chemicals brand product was originally part of the Alfa Aesar product portfolio. Some documentation and label information may refer to the legacy brand. The original Alfa Aesar product / item code or SKU reference has not changed as a part of the brand transition to Thermo Scientific Chemicals.
