Sebacic acid CAS 111-20-6

Sebacic Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid with a 10-carbon chain. It is typically derived from castor oil through a caustic fusion process, making it a renewable resource-based chemical. The compound is characterized by its relatively long aliphatic chain and two terminal carboxylic acid groups, which allow it to form polymers, esters, and other derivatives. Sebacic acid exhibits good thermal stability and resistance to hydrolysis, making it valuable for producing high-performance materials, especially polyamides (nylon) and plasticizers.

Application:

Primary Use:

1.As a monomer for the production of polyamides (Nylon 610, Nylon 1010), which are known for their toughness, abrasion resistance, and low moisture absorption.

2. Sebacic Acid used in the synthesis of ester-based plasticizers, such as dioctyl sebacate (DOS), which offer excellent low-temperature flexibility and are used in PVC, synthetic rubbers, and other polymers.

3. Sebacic Acid employed as an intermediate in the production of lubricants, greases, and hydraulic fluids.

4. Used in the manufacture of alkyd resins for coatings with good flexibility and durability.

5. It applied in the cosmetic and personal care industry as a pH adjuster and in the synthesis of emollients.

6. Serves as a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids.

7. Used in the pharmaceutical industry as an intermediate.

Safety profile:

Sebacic acid is generally considered to have low toxicity. It may cause mild irritation to the eyes, skin, and respiratory tract. Dust may be irritating upon inhalation. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including dust masks, gloves, and safety glasses when handling the powder. Good industrial hygiene practices should be maintained.

Storage requirements:

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from heat sources and strong oxidizing agents. Keep containers tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and contamination.

Transport & Packaging:

Typically supplied in 25 kg polyethylene-lined paper or woven plastic bags. Classified as non-hazardous for transport.
