Diacid Monomers for Plastic Compounds

1,4 CHDA distributed by DKSH is 1,4-cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid used in the polyester resin synthesis. It reacts faster than aromatic diacids because of its higher solubility in glycols.

• Compared to linear aliphatic and aromatic diacids, its higher content results in a better compromise of resin yellowing resistance, hardness, flexibility, salt spray as well as detergent and stain resistance.
• 1,4 CHDA is available in Europe and North America.

Pripol™ 1004 by Cargill is a bio-based dimer acid building block enhancing high-performance engineering plastic properties. It combines flexibility and toughness and offers extremely high moisture resistance.

• It has very low color properties meeting ultra-transparency properties for film applications.
• Pripol™ 1004 is suitable for moisture-sensitive applications, like in electronics.

Sebacic acid. Acts as an intermediate. Used for producing polyamide resin such as nylon 1010, nylon 610, nylon 810, and nylon 9 as well as winter tolerant plasticizer DOS and DBS. Can also be used for producing corrosion-retarder, light stablizing agent, epoxy resin curing agent and high temperature resisting lubrication.

Adipic Acid by CarboQuimica is a white crystalline compound. It is used in the production of nylon, polyols, polyesters, and PVC plasticizers. It is slightly soluble in water and soluble in alcohol & acetone. Adipic Acid is recommended for home care & industrial cleaning.

1,12-Dodecanedioic acid (DDA) by UBE exhibits excellent performance including hydrolytic resistance, flexibility, and heat stability. Suitable for polyurethane, polyester and polyamide resins when reacted with various alcohols and diamines. Registered with MITI (2-878), European Inventory of Existing Commercial chemical Substances [EINECS (211-746-3)] and TSCA (Toxic Substances Control Act).

Offers good liquidity, high flash point and fire point. HJ -166 does not freeze in low temperature. Soluble in most organic solvents. Widely used in producing polyamide resin, epoxy resin curing agent. Recommended for cable.

HJ -136 by Shandong Huijin Chemical is dimer acid, based on rectified cotton oleic acid and soybean oleic acid. It is a conventional dimer acid. It is non-toxic and non-volatile. Offers good liquidity, high flash point and fire point. HJ -136 does not freeze in low temperature. Soluble in most organic solvents. Widely used in producing polyamide resin, epoxy resin curing agent. Recommended for cable.

FDCA by Synvina is a 100% bio-based, recyclable monomer and chemical building block for the production of the polymer PEF (polyethylenefuranoate). Exhibits improved barrier properties for gases like carbon dioxide and oxygen, leading to a longer shelf life of packaged products, a higher mechanical strength; thus, thinner PEF packaging can be produced and fewer resources are required. Market applications of FDCA include bottles, textiles, food packaging, carpets, electronic materials and automotive applications.

BIOSUCCINIUM® by Roquette is a sustainable succinic acid. It shows improved environmental footprint for a broad range of applications like packaging and polymer modification. It is produced from renewable, plant-based resources which are converted via a unique low pH yeast process, a biotechnology process. It is a 100% bio-based succinic acid, produced via a patented fermentation process from sustainable biomass. BIOSUCCINIUM® offers an alternative to chemicals such as fossil-based succinic acid and adipic acid.

PTA (PURIFIED TEREPHTHALIC ACID) by SABIC is benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid. It is a white crystalline powder with slight acidic odor. Mainly used in the production of polyester products, including polyethylene terephthalate (PET).
