Nylon 66 Synthesis(Dominant use, accounting for 70% of consumption)
It undergoes condensation polymerization with hexamethylenediamine to form nylon 66 salt, which is used in engineering plastics and fiber manufacturing.
polyurethane(20%)
It is used as a raw material for polyester polyols in the production of shoe soles, elastomers, and coatings.
Food and Medicine
Acidulant (E355), pH adjuster (must comply with FDA/GB standards);
Drug sustained-release carriers (such as controlled-release tablets).
Other industries
Raw materials for wet strength agents in papermaking chemicals, lubricants and thickeners, additives for battery electrolytes, and plasticizers for polymer materials.
IV. Storage and Operationlose
Storage conditionsStore in a cool, dry place (temperature <30°C), with relative humidity ≤50%.Winter precautions(December): Avoid dampness and clumping (temperature-controlled warehouse recommended).
Package25kg/bag or 1-ton bulk bag;
transportation: Not a dangerous good (UN number: N/A), but must be protected from moisture and breakage.
V. Market Dynamics in 2025 (Supplement)charge
Price TrendDue to fluctuations in crude oil prices, the current price is...$1,200–1,300/ton(East China Market);
Environmental policiesThe EU's N₂O emissions tax has driven a 12% annual increase in demand for bio-based adipic acid.
Innovative ApplicationsSodium-ion battery electrolyte additive (to improve cycle stability).
