Application

Application

Adipic acid primarily used in nylon polymer production. Exhibiting typical carboxylic acid chemistry, its excellent uniformity and consistent end-use performance make it a valuable intermediate in a wide range of applications: As a monomer in nylon, paper additives, copolyamides, terpolymers, and unsaturated polyester resins (UPRs) As polyester polyols for polyurethanes In polymer additives for epoxy curing agents and plasticizers As a chemical intermediate in synthesis of polyesters/diesters, polyester polyols, cyclopentanone, 1,6-hexanediol and dimethyl adipate
In end-uses such as solvents, lubricants, electronics, soil conditioners, glass protection agents, briquetting agents, leather tanning agents, flue gas desulfurization scrubbers and cleaning aids.
