- Adipic acid (IUPAC
systematic name: hexanedioic acid) is a dicarboxylic acid. It is a white
crystalline powder. Due to its long aliphatic chain, it is not very
soluble in water.
- Adipic Acid is a C6
straight-chain dicarboxylic acid; slightly soluble in water and soluble
in alcohol and acetone.
- Adipic acid is a
chemical intermediate used in the production of nylon 66 resin and nylon
66 fibre or in polyol and polyurethane production.
- Almost all of the
commercial adipic acid is produced from cyclohexane through two sequent
oxidation processes.
- Most adipic acids react
with 1,6-hexane diamine to form polyamide, more known by its product
name "Nylon 6,6". Nylon 6,6 is mainly used to
produce fibre and
resins.
- Adipic acid is used in
manufacturing plasticizers and lubricants components. It is used in
making polyester polyols for polyurethane systems. Food
grade adipic
acid is used as gelling aid, acidulant, leavening and buffering
agent.
- Nylon 6,6 fiber is used
in apparel, especially ladies' hosiery, sleepwear, and underwear,
carpets, and home furnishings. Other nylon 6,6 fiber uses
include
tire cord, fishing line, brush bristles, and in tough fabrics for
parachutes, backpacks, luggage, and business cases.
- The hexanedioic acid
(HC) consumption structure varies by regions. Thus, in the Asia-Pacific
region 85% of HC is used for polyamide production,
while its share
in the production of polyurethanes is lower, since polyurethane
production in this region more often involves simple polyesters which do
not require adipic acid for their synthesis.
- Russia fails to have
its own production of adipic acid, though the prerequisites for its
origination are quite favourable, since the vital feedstock is available
and major consumers of end-products are present.
- Worldwide, there are
very few adipic acid plants. The U.S. is a major producer with three
companies in four locations accounting for approximately
forty
percent of world production.
