Sebacic Acid

Overview

Sebacic Acid from CanCastor represents a cornerstone in bio-based chemistry, offering a highly versatile and sustainable dicarboxylic acid solution derived primarily from renewable castor oil. Also known as decanedioic acid (CAS No: 111-20-6; INCI: Decanedioic Acid), this linear C10 dicarboxylic acid is a vital building block for high-performance polymers, advanced lubricants, and specialized cosmetic formulations. Our Sebacic Acid is produced with meticulous attention to purity and consistency, leveraging our expertise in castor oil chemistry to deliver a product that meets stringent industrial specifications.

As a bio-based chemical, Sebacic Acid stands out for its environmental profile, aligning with global trends towards sustainable sourcing and reduced petrochemical dependency. Its unique chemical structure, featuring two carboxylic acid groups separated by an eight-carbon chain, imparts excellent thermal stability, flexibility, and chemical resistance to its derivatives. CanCastor’s commitment to quality ensures our Sebacic Acid complies with relevant international standards, including potential alignment with REACH regulations for Europe, and quality parameters critical for USP or BP grade applications where purity is paramount.
