Adipic Acid

90% of adipic acid is consumed in the industry for the production of nylon by polycondensation with hexamethylenediamine. It is mainly used for the production of nylon 6.6 polymer for fibers and plastics. Nylon has a protein-like structure. It can be further processed into fibers for applications in carpets (felts), automobile tire cords and clothing. Adipic acid can be used in the production of plasticizer and lubricant components. It can be used in the production of polyester polyols for polyurethane systems. Technical quality adipic acid can be used to produce plasticizers, to add flexibility and to give flexibility to unsaturated polyesters. It can be used in the production of rigid and flexible foams, wire coatings, elastomers and adhesives, can increase the flexibility of alkyd resins, can be used in the production of wet strength resins for the paper chemicals industry and in the production of synthetic lubricants and oils.
