General description

Sebacic acid is a castor oil-derived dicarboxylic acid. It is widely used to produce polymers, plasticizers, lubricants, and corrosion retardants. It can act as a pH corrector in the cosmetic products formulations. Sebacic acid is also used as a precursor to prepare sebacate esters such as diisopropyl sebacate, diethylhexyl sebacate, and dibutyl sebacate.

Application

Sebacic acid has been used in the synthesis of:
  • biodegradable and elastomeric polyesters [poly(glycerol sebacate)]
  • novel bio-nylon, PA5.10
  • novel temperature-response hydrogel based on poly(ether-ester anhydride) nanoparticle for drug-delivery applications
