Azelaic Acid, CAS No. : 123-99-9

Azelaic Acid: The Preferred Alternative to Sebacic Acid
A global specialty chemical manufacturer, announces Azelaic Acid as an alternative to sebacic acid. Azelaic Acid can be used as an intermediate reactant or directly in formulated products. It is the preferred choice for a broad range of applications including:
low temperature and polymeric plasticizers,
nylon and fibers,
polyamide hot melts,
polyester films and adhesives,
urethane elastomers,
ester-based synthetic lubricants,
lithium complex greases, and
corrosion inhibitors for water-based metalworking fluids and engine coolants.
We offers various grades of Azelaic Acid which provide the following benefits to end-product formulators relative to sebacic acid:
lower melting point which reduces processing time and cost,
excellent flexibility,
improved polymer low-temperature impact strength without sacrificing high temperature performance,
excellent hydrolysis resistance,
low water absorption,
high impact resistance,
improved solubility characteristics,
lower pour point of esters which improves cold temperature flow, and
lower molecular weight which produces more ester per pound of acid.
Azelaic acid is used to treat mild to moderate acne, both comedonal acne and inflammatory acne. It belongs to a class of medication called dicarboxylic acids. It works by killing acne bacteria that infect skin pores.Azelaic acid is used to treat mild to moderate acne, both comedonal acne and inflammatory acne.
