Adipic acid (C₆H₁₀O₄) is an industrial dicarboxylic acid appearing as a white crystalline solid. It serves as one of the most important monomers in polymer chemistry, especially in nylon 6,6 synthesis. Owing to its consistent purity, low moisture absorption, and good handling stability, it is also favored as an intermediate for high-performance materials.
SoleChem, an ISO 9001:2015 certified chemical supplier based in Türkiye, delivers Adipic Acid (CAS 124-04-9) to customers in more than 40 countries.
Adipic Acid
Applications
Used in the production of polyamides, polyester polyols, and plasticizers, adipic acid also acts as a pH regulator and buffering component in industrial formulations. It plays a role in controlled-release systems and specialty coatings where acid functionality supports crosslinking or adhesion.
Safety & Risks
Mildly irritating to eyes and skin in dust form. Handle in well-ventilated areas and avoid static accumulation. Store away from bases and oxidizers.
Packaging
Supplied as prills or crystalline powder in 25 kg bags or FIBCs; maintain cool, dry conditions to prevent caking.
