Results for tag: "1 12 Dodecanedioic Acid"

Dodecanedioic Acid is a dicarboxylic acid used as an intermediate in the production of dyestuff. It is a white, crystalline solid with a melting point of around 130°C. It is soluble in water and organic solvents, and is used in the production of polyamides, polyesters, and polyurethanes. It is also used as a corrosion inhibitor in metalworking fluids. Dodecanedioic Acid is produced by the oxidation of dodecane, a hydrocarbon derived from petroleum. It is also produced by the hydrolysis of dimer acid, a by-product of the dimerization of olefins. The global demand for Dodecanedioic Acid is driven by the growth of the dyestuff industry, as well as the increasing demand for polyamides and polyurethanes. Some of the major companies in the Dodecanedioic Acid market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Eastman Chemical, Mitsubishi Chemical, and Nippon Shokubai. Show Less Read more
