About Tartaric acid, 99%

Tartaric acid (CAS 87-69-4) is a carboxylic acid offered by Vaqora Chemicals in Extra Pure grade with a typical assay of 99%. Its molecular formula is C4H6O6 and its molecular weight is 150.09 g/mol. The IUPAC name is (2R,3R)-2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid. Alternative names: (2R,3R)-(+)-Tartaric acid and L-Threaric acid.

The material typically appears as white powder or crystalline powder or chunks. Reported physical data include a melting point of 170-172 °C and a density of 1.76. Store in a tightly closed container in a cool, dry and well-ventilated place. The GHS classification uses the signal word “Danger”, so appropriate gloves, eye protection and ventilation are recommended.

Typical applications include catalysis and organic synthesis. Buyers come mainly from pharmaceutical manufacturing and academic and industrial research.

Standard pack sizes are 500 g, 5 kg and 25 kg, and every batch ships with a Certificate of Analysis (COA) and we export worldwide.
