Description
Calcium Maleate Product Overview
Calcium maleate (Ca(C4H2O4)) is a white crystalline powder. Maleate is the cis isomer of butenedioate; its trans isomer is fumarate. Many APIs are supplied as maleate salts, for example Chlorpheniramine maleate and Timolol Maleate, and it serves as a source of the maleate anion in chemical and laboratory work.
It is used as an intermediate in specialty chemical synthesis, in laboratory and research applications, and in some polymer and formulation work. Because uses vary, buyers should specify the intended application and required grade.
It is often confused with calcium malate, a different compound used as a calcium source in food. For food and nutritional calcium sources, see Calcium citrate and Calcium gluconate.
