Product Description
Adipic acid is an organic compound with the formula (CH2)4(COOH)2. From the industrial perspective, it is the most important dicarboxylic acid: About 2.5 billion kilograms of this white crystalline powder are produced annually, mainly as a precursor for the production of nylon. Adipic acid otherwise rarely occurs in nature.
Adipic acid is a straight-chain dicarboxylic acid that exists as a white crystalline compound at standard temperature and pressure. Adipic acid is one of the most important industrial chemicals and typically ranks in the top 10 in terms of volume used annually by the chemical industry.
Applications
1. Used as the material of polyurethane elastomer.
2. Used as the material of Polyester polyol and Polyester resin.
3. Mainly used as the material of nylon 66 and engineering plastics, also used in the production of ester products, used as a plasticizer and advanced lubricant.
