Products Description
Polysuccinimide, with CAS number 5608-40-6, typically appears as a white to off-white powdery solid. It is insoluble in common solvents such as water, ethanol, and acetone. However, it may partially dissolve or swell when exposed to certain strongly polar solvents, including dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and N-methylpyrrolidone (NMP).

Product Application
Polysuccinimide (CAS# 5608-40-6) is a degradable polymeric material with broad application potential. Its hydrolysis product, polyaspartic acid, serves as a phosphorus-free water treatment agent capable of inhibiting scale formation and adsorbing heavy metals from wastewater; it also functions as a fertilizer synergist to promote plant growth. In the medical field, polysuccinimide can be modified into carriers for sustained drug release or used in biocompatible materials. In addition, it can be blended with other polymers to produce degradable plastics and is employed as a drilling fluid additive, a cosmetic moisturizing agent, and in various related applications.
