PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

Sebacic acid is a long-chain dicarboxylic acid that is present as a highly pure and white substance. DC10 can be supplied either as a powder or as granules.

Sebacic acid is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula C10H18O4. It is also known as decanedioic acid or DC10. Sebacic acid is mainly produced from the renewable raw material castor oil or alternatively from microbial fermentation of alkanes. Corvay can offer both types of material. Sebacic acid consists of a linear carbon skeleton with ten carbon atoms and has two terminal carboxylic acid groups (-COOH). The carbon chain gives the di-acid flexibility and hydrophobic properties. Due to its high melting point, it is suitable for applications that require heat resistance and stability. DC10 is considered environmentally friendly as it is biodegradable. It can decompose naturally in the environment.

Sebacic acid is used in various applications, including

Production of nylon:

Sebacic acid is used as a starting material for the production of nylon-6,10, which is used in textiles, carpets, plastics and medical devices.
