CAS NO.: 133-37-9
Molecular Formula: C4H6O6 Molecular weight: 150.09
Molecular Structure:
Property:
DL-Tartaric Acid is colorless crystals or white power, without odor but with sour taste.
DL-Tartaric Acid is stable in air, compound of equal quantity of dextro-rotatory and levo-rotatory.
DL-Tartaric Acid usually contains one or two molecule crystalline water and will lose water when being heated to 100°C. The specific gravity of
DL-Tartaric Acid is 1.697. Its solubility in ether is about 1% and 5.01 (25°C) in ethanol, in water is 20.60(20°C).
Specifications：
Complies with BP98 & US FCC(IV) & GB15358-94.
