What is the industrial production and use of adipic acid?
Adipic acid, a key chemical compound with a wide range of industrial applications, plays a vital role in various sectors such as the chemical, textile, and automotive industries. At Dotachem, we are dedicated to providing high-quality adipic acid to meet the diverse needs of our customers.
Adipic acid is primarily produced through the oxidation of cyclohexane or cyclohexanol, utilizing processes such as nitric acid oxidation or air oxidation. This versatile compound is a dicarboxylic acid with six carbon atoms, making it an important building block for the synthesis of various polymers, resins, and other chemical compounds.
Worldwide, about 3 million tons of adipic acid are used annually to synthesize monomers of Nylon-66. Adipic acid is a key raw material in the production of nylon-6,6, a widely used synthetic polymer known for its strength, durability, and versatility. Nylon fibers and plastics derived from adipic acid find applications in textiles, automotive components, and consumer goods.
Adipic acid is also utilized in the production of polyurethane foams, coatings, and adhesives. Its chemical properties contribute to the flexibility, resilience, and thermal stability of polyurethane products used in construction, furniture, and automotive applications.
Dotachem’s adipic acid products are manufactured to stringent quality standards. Whether you require adipic acid for nylon production, polyurethane synthesis, or other applications, Dotachem is your trusted partner for premium chemical solutions.
