Maleic acid NF

Description

Maleic Acid NF is a high-purity dicarboxylic organic acid used in pharmaceutical and chemical formulations as a pH adjuster, acidifying agent, and intermediate. Compliant with National Formulary (NF) standards, it provides precise acidity control and consistent performance in regulated applications.

Maleic Acid is chemically designated as Cis-Butenedioic acid. It appears as a white to off-white crystalline powder with a sharp acidic taste. It is freely soluble in water and soluble in alcohol, enabling efficient incorporation into aqueous and solid dosage forms.

In pharmaceutical and related applications, Maleic Acid NF is used in:

• pH adjustment and buffering systems
• Salt formation of active pharmaceutical ingredients
• Intermediate synthesis for pharmaceutical and excipient manufacturing
• Stabilization of formulations sensitive to alkaline conditions
• Research involving organic acid chemistry and ionization behavior

Maleic Acid NF functions by donating protons to control formulation pH and by participating in ionic interactions that enhance solubility or stability of certain active ingredients. Its cis configuration contributes to higher acidity compared to its trans isomer, fumaric acid.

CarboMer supplies Maleic Acid NF with assay, purity, water content, and impurity profile. The material meets NF monograph specifications and is suitable for regulated pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing.

The material is packaged in sealed, moisture-resistant, tamper-evident containers. Available in laboratory, pilot, and commercial-scale quantities. Documentation includes Certificate of Analysis (CoA), Safety Data Sheet (SDS), and complete traceability.

Each batch is tested for identity (IR), assay, water content, sulfate and heavy metal limits, and microbial quality where applicable. Technical support is available to assist with formulation development and application-specific requirements.

As with all CarboMer supplied acidulants and intermediates, Maleic Acid NF is supported by dependable global supply, stringent quality control, and expert technical guidance to ensure consistent and reliable performance.
