Dodecanedioic Acid

Dodecanedioic Acid by Palmary Chemical is a family of organic compounds with a chemical formula of HOOC(CH₂)₁₀COOH. It is known as long-chain dicarboxylic acid when the total carbon number is greater than nine (n>7). Long-chain diacids provide greater flexibility and strength than short-chain diacids due to their ability to bend, which minimizes breakage as well as reduces the number of links in a polymer. It is produced from paraffin through fermentation followed by purification, rather than the traditional multi-step chemical process. Dodecanedioic Acid is used in hot-melt adhesives applications.
