Description

Adipic acid chemical suppliers in Tamilnadu, coimbatore, Shree Vissnu Scientific company. Adipic acid Small but significant amounts of adipic acid are used as a food ingredient as a flavorant and gelling aid. It is used in some calcium carbonate antacids to make them tart. As an acidulant in baking powders, it avoids the undesirable hygroscopic properties of tartaric acid. Related dicarboxylic acids‎: ‎glutaric acid‎; ‎pimelic ... Crystal structure‎: ‎Monoclinic Solubility in water‎: ‎14 g/L (10 °C); 24 g/L (25 °... Chemical formula‎: ‎C6H10O4 Uses: Almost 90 percent of adipic acid produced is used in the production of nylon 66. The nylon, which has a protein-like structure, is further processed into fibers for applications in carpeting, automobile tire cord, and clothing. Adipic acid is also used to manufacture plasticizers and lubricant components. The acid is slightly more tart than citric acid at any pH. Aqueous solutions of the acid are the least acidic of all food acidulants, and have a strong buffering capacity in the pH range 2.5–3.0. Adipic acid functions primarily as an acidifier, buffer, gelling aid, and sequestrant. While the use of household salicylic acid products at low concentrations is generally considered safe, in high concentrations, salicylic acid is capable of causing moderate chemical burns. If ingested, this chemical can also lead to dangerous intoxication.
