Industrial Applications of Adipic Acid

Adipic acid is a critical component in the production of several high-performance materials:

1. Nylon 6,6 Production

Over 85% of global adipic acid production is used in the manufacture of Nylon 6,6, a durable synthetic polymer widely used in textiles, automotive parts, and industrial components.

2. Plasticizers

It is used to produce esters that function as plasticizers for PVC and other plastics, improving their flexibility and durability.

3. Polyurethanes and Resins

Adipic acid is used in the formulation of polyurethanes and unsaturated polyester resins for coatings, adhesives, and sealants.

4. Food Industry

In food applications, adipic acid acts as an acidity regulator and gelling aid in gelatins and jellies (E355).

5. Pharmaceuticals

It's also used as an intermediate in the manufacture of certain pharmaceutical products and drug delivery systems.
