- Sebacic acid is a dicarboxylic acid
with structure (HOOC)(CH2)8(COOH), and is naturally occurring.
- In Sebacic acid's pure state it is a
white flake or powdered crystal. The product is described as
non-hazardous, though in its powdered form can be prone to flash
ignition
- Sebacic acid is a normal urinary
acid.Sebacic Acid was named from the Latin sebaceus (tallow candle) or
sebum (tallow) in reference to its use in the manufacture of candles.
- In the urotropineħsebacic acid system
an incommensurate phase has been observed at 295 K.Its structure,
characterized by the modulation vector comprises two very distinct
moieties: slightly modulated layers of urotropine (U) and strongly
modulated layers of sebacic acid (S).
- Docosanedioic acid has been prepared
by Wolff-Kishner reduction of 6,17-diketodocosanedioic acid, formed by
reaction of the half-ester acid chloride of adipic acid with the
a?-cadmium derivative of decane.
- Synthesis of aromatic poly(amideester)
derived from sebacic acid and aminobenzylalcohol can be achieved by melt
polymerization.
- Sebacic Acid finds use in a variety
of applications including corrosion inhibition, nylon, polyamide and
polyester production, personal care products, plasticizers, lubricant
esters and complex greases.
- Approximately three
tons of castor oil are necessary to produce one ton of nylon.
- Sebacic acid is a plasticizer that is
used to produce nylon 6/10, a plastic used to produce tooth brushes and
plastic line, such as fishing line.
- Sebacic acid is also used to produce
automotive coolants, polyester casting and films, inks, and adhesives.
- It is Investigated that eight
potential protocols Used for the synthesis of DHA-based polyester which
includes Sebacic Acid as one among the eight protocols.
- Production of Castor Seed is confined mainly
to India, China & Brazil, but its consumption is higher in EU Countries,
USA & Japan, who use it to produce & consume / export its value-added
derivatives
- While India is the largest exporter of Castor
Oil, EU is its largest importer. China, which used to be a net exporter
of Castor Oil, has now turned a net importer as it concentrated on
manufacturing value added Castor Oil derivatives in its country rather
than exporting the Castor Oil. Brazil, the other important player has
now become net importer due to increase in its domestic consumption.
- Castor oil is also
the primary raw material for the production of sebacic acid, which is the basic ingredient in the
production of nylon and other synthetic resins and fibers.
- Investment of about
INR 75 Lakhs may be required to set up plant of 60 tons/year of Sebacic
acid from Castor Oil according to some consultants
