Adipic Acid

Adipic acid is the most valuable dicarboxylic acid among fatty acids. Adipic acid has the properties of aliphatic dicarboxylic acids, including salt formation reaction, esterification reaction, amidation reaction, etc. The main use of adipic acid is as a raw material for three major categories of products, namely: synthesizing nylon 66 salt, and then manufacturing Chemicalbook polyamide resin and fiber (nylon 66). Nylon 66 is the largest end market for adipic acid; Synthesis of polyester polyols for the production of polyester polyurethane; Adipic acid diester plasticizer. In addition, it can also be used to produce advanced lubricants and food additives (souring agents for food and beverages).
