ADIPIC ACID (BASF)
Adipic acid is a dicarboxylic acid commonly used in the pharmaceutical industry as an excipient and in general industries for the production of nylon and other polymers.
Adipic acid, a white crystalline solid, is one of the most important dicarboxylic acids in industrial chemistry.
Its chemical formula is C6H10O4, and it is primarily used as a precursor in the production of nylon-6,6.
In the pharmaceutical industry, adipic acid is used as an excipient to control the release of active ingredients in extended-release tablets.
Its compatibility with other compounds and low toxicity make it a versatile choice in various applications.
General industrial applications include the production of polyurethane, plasticisers, and lubricants.
Adipic acid is also used as a food additive in certain beverages and gelatins to enhance tartness and as a gelling agent.
