Wintrol Sebacic Acid

WINTROL® SEBACIC ACID (Decanedioic Acid) is used primarily in metal working fluids, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, engine coolants, plasticizers, cosmetics, candles, etc. Wintrol® Sebacic Acid is also used as an intermediate for aromatics, antiseptics and painting materials.

Sebacic acid is a derivative of castor oil, with the vast majority of world production occurring in China which annually exports over 20,000 metric tons, representing over 90% of global trade of the product.

Note: Technical assistance maybe required to successfully formulate with Sebacic Acid.

What are the primary uses of sebacic acid?

Sebacic acid is a dicarboxylic acid used as a corrosion inhibitor primarily in metal working fluids, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, and engine coolants. It is also used in the production of polymers and plasticizers, and as an intermediate to make esters and other derivatives.

How is sebacic acid produced?

Traditionally, sebacic acid is produced from castor oil through alkaline oxidation of ricinoleic acid. While there are alternative synthesis routes, the majority of commercially available sebacic acid is derived from castor oil.

What are the various forms of sebacic acid?

Sebacic acid is available in flake, powder, and granular forms. Wincom, supplies sebacic acid as a free flowing, white granular, and also offers Wintrol® Disodium Sebacate, the sodium salt of sebacic acid.
