PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
DC11 (1,9-Nonanedicarboxylic Acid) is a long chain dicarboxylic acid, which comes as a highly pure and white substance in powder form.
Undecanedioic acid, also known as DC11 or UDDA, is a dicarboxylic acid with the chemical formula C11H20O4. It is a member of the aliphatic dicarboxylic acid family, which contains two terminal carboxylic acid groups (-COOH) attached to an aliphatic carbon chain.
Undecanedioic acid consists of an unbranched carbon backbone containing 11 carbon atoms. The carbon chain provides flexibility and hydrophobic properties to the acid.
Similar to dodecanedioic acid, UDDA can be derived from various sources, including petrochemical feedstocks and renewable resources. It is typically produced through the oxidation of long-chain alkanes or by the microbial fermentation of fatty acids.
Undecanedioic acid is a white, crystalline solid with a melting point that is typically lower than that of dodecanedioic acid. It is sparingly soluble in water but dissolves readily in organic solvents such as ethanol and acetone. Corvay holds its own REACH registration of UDDA and works together with reliable manufacturers.
Undecanedioic acid shares some similarities with dodecanedioic acid in terms of properties and applications. However, due to its shorter carbon chain, it may exhibit slightly different characteristics and uses. Corvay supplies UDDA in various applications in different industries.
REFERENCE TO REGULATIONS
Chemical is REACh registered.
