Bio-Based Sebacic acid
Sebacic acid is a natural C10 liquid fatty acid, directly produced from castor oil. Our decanedioic acid has a high quality, a secure supply chain, and a natural origin.
- Worldwide
Common name : Decanedioic acid; 1,10-Decanedioic acid; 1,10-Decanedioic acid; 1,8-Octane dicarboxylic acid; C10H18O4; HOOC(CH2)8COOH
Properties
- High purity
- 100% of vegetal origin
- Linear chain
- Granules or powder forms
- High reactivity to produce a wide range of esters
Major Applications
Our sebacic acid offers a competitve solution in many applications:
- To produce polymers
- In industry: to produce plasticizers, lubricants, and corrosion retardants
- In cosmetics: as buffering ingredient or as a chemical intermediate to produce a wide range of esters
Cosmetic applications
Our Sebacic acid can be used directly in cosmetics formulation as a pH corrector (buffering). In this case, the main applications are skin care (mainly face/neck care), and color cosmetics.
The sebacic acid is also widely used as a synthesis intermediate to produce sebacates esters such as DIPS or DIS (diisopropyl sebacate), DOS (diethylhexyl sebacate), DES (diethyl sebacate) and DBS (dibutyl sebacate).
These sebacate are used as: emollient, solvent, plasticizer, masking (reducing or inhibiting the basic odour of the product), film forming, hair or skin conditioning. Generally, sebacate esters are claimed to enable a good penetration, give a non-oily and silky skin feel. These esters are also recognized to be good pigment dispersant (DOS), be good sun protection factor (SPF) booster (DIPS blended), and prevent whitening in antiperspirant (DIPS).
Plasticizers applications
The sebacic acid (DC 10), is widely used to produce a various range of plastics, and brings to those plastics a bio-based part.
