Product Technical Details

Product Overview

Azelaic Acid, chemically known as nonanedioic acid, is a naturally occurring saturated dicarboxylic acid. Our premium grade material is synthesized through advanced oxidation processes to ensure exceptional purity and consistency. This versatile compound serves as a critical active ingredient in dermatological cosmetics and as a key monomer in the production of high-performance engineering plastics. With a molecular formula of C9H16O4 and a molecular weight of 188.22 g/mol, it exhibits unique chemical properties that make it indispensable for both personal care and industrial applications.

Our manufacturing facility adheres to strict quality management systems, ensuring that every batch meets rigorous international standards. The product is characterized by its white crystalline appearance, low toxicity profile, and excellent thermal stability. Whether utilized for skin conditioning formulations or polymer chain extension, our Azelaic Acid provides reliable performance and reproducibility.

Industrial Applications

In the cosmetic industry, this ingredient is highly valued for its multifunctional benefits. It is commonly incorporated into creams, serums, and cleansers designed for skin conditioning. Its chemical structure allows for effective integration into various emulsion systems without compromising stability. Furthermore, it serves as a vital building block in the synthesis of polyamides, specifically Nylon 6,9, which is used in automotive parts and electronic components due to its superior mechanical strength and heat resistance.

Additional applications include the production of lubricants, plasticizers, and fragrances. The material's biodegradability makes it an environmentally responsible choice for manufacturers seeking sustainable chemical solutions. Our team provides comprehensive technical support to assist with formulation optimization and process scaling.

Safety and Storage

Azelaic Acid is classified as stable under normal conditions but should be handled with appropriate industrial hygiene measures. It is combustible and incompatible with strong oxidizing agents and bases. For optimal preservation, store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and moisture. Containers should be kept tightly closed when not in use to prevent contamination. The product readily biodegrades in soil and water, minimizing environmental impact when disposed of according to local regulations.
