Primary Applications & Industrial Uses

Nylon Production & Synthetic Fibers Adipic Acid is the primary raw material for manufacturing nylon 6,6, one of the most important engineering plastics globally. The polymerization reaction between adipic acid and hexamethylene diamine creates strong, durable nylon polymers used in automotive parts, textiles, carpets, and industrial components.

Plasticizer Manufacturing Our adipic acid serves as a key intermediate in producing plasticizers, particularly dioctyl adipate (DOA) and diisononyl adipate (DINA). These plasticizers enhance flexibility and durability in PVC applications, including cables, automotive interiors, and flexible packaging materials.

Polyurethane & Foam Production In polyurethane manufacturing, adipic acid acts as a chain extender and contributes to the formation of polyester polyols. This application is crucial for producing flexible foams, rigid insulation, adhesives, sealants, and elastomers used in construction and automotive industries.

Food Industry Applications Food-grade adipic acid functions as an acidulant and flavoring agent in beverages, gelatin desserts, and baking powders. It provides tartness control and acts as a buffering agent in various food formulations, particularly in powdered drink mixes and confectionery products.

Quality Assurance & Industry Standards

Our adipic acid undergoes comprehensive quality testing to ensure compliance with international standards including ASTM, ISO, and food-grade specifications where applicable. Each batch is analyzed for purity, moisture content, heavy metals, and other critical parameters.

Quality control measures include:

• Purity analysis via titration and chromatography
• Moisture content determination (max 0.2%)
• Heavy metals testing (Pb, As, Hg, Cd)
• Microbial testing for food-grade applications
• Physical appearance and particle size distribution

For detailed specifications and comprehensive chemical safety information, our technical team provides complete documentation including certificates of analysis, safety data sheets, and application guidelines.

Storage & Handling Guidelines

Proper Storage Conditions:

• Store in cool, dry, well-ventilated areas below 25°C
• Protect from moisture and direct sunlight
• Keep containers tightly sealed when not in use
• Separate from alkaline materials and strong oxidizing agents
• Ensure adequate ventilation in storage areas

Safety Precautions:

• Use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)
• Avoid inhalation of dust particles
• Wash hands thoroughly after handling
• In case of eye contact, flush with clean water for 15 minutes
• Maintain good housekeeping practices in work areas
