EMEROX® Azelaic Acids (Nonanedioic Acid)

Emery Oleochemicals offers azelaic acids and dibasic acid blends, available in a broad range of purities, under the trusted EMEROX® brand which is recognized for uncompromised quality and consistent technical performance. As a pioneer in the commercial development of azelaic acid - also known as nonanedioic acid - our current EMEROX product line is the result of over 70 years of dedicated research and innovation. Today, Emery Oleochemicals is the largest global manufacturer of azelaic acid with backward integration ensuring security of supply. With high purity and low monocarboxylic content, our azelaic acid is a viable alternative to other dicarboxylic acids - such as sebacic acid and dodecanedioic acid - as an intermediate in polymer processes, lubricant formulations, and other demanding applications.

Benefits of EMEROX azelaic acid include:

• lower melting points than other commonly used even-carbon dicarboxylic acids,
• monomeric derivatives of EMEROX azelaic acids have improved solubility characteristics compared to the corresponding derivatives of even-carbon dicarboxylic acids,
• unique high purities enable the preparation and modification of high molecular polymers,
• improves low temperature performance in vinyl-based type plasticizers and synthetic ester-based lubricants,
• provides excellent melting point control in polyamide hot melt adhesives,  
• enables grease formulations with high doping points that exhibit improved mechanical stability, water resistance and oil separation properties,
• synergistic blends with other dibasic acids provide excellent foam control and hard water stability when neutralized in water-based metalworking formulations and exhibit excellent corrosion protection for iron and steel,
• ability to react with monohydric alcohols to form relatively high boiling diesters, and
• derived from renewable oleochemical raw materials.

Applications:

• Lubricant base stocks
• Greases
• Metalworking (Corrosion inhibitors)
• CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants & Elastomers)
• Polyamide (Nylon)
• Plasticizers
• Esters
• Fragrances
• Personal Care
