New Listing

commercially-available chemicals. Dodecanedioic Acid HOOC(CH 2 ) 10 COOH

Cyclododecane

Attractive raw material for polyes­ ters, urethanes, powder paint curing agents, synthetic lubricants, oil and gas additives, plasticizers, perfumes.

DBD Dibasic Acid Mixture HOOC(CH 2 )nCOOH η s 8 to 10

Mixed long-chain dibasic acids. Low-cost alternative for azelaic and sebacic acids.

Adipic Acid HOOC(CH2)4COOH Its still-growing application poten­ tial can make this established chemical a surprising "new" material for you. In ample, reliable supply from Du Pont

A large-ring cycloalkane of high purity. Its high boiling and freezing points suggest solvent applications. Possible raw material for musk-like products.

Cyclododecanol OH

A novel, high molecular weight alcohol. Its esters should be considered in new plasticizer and lubricant formulations.

Dimethyl Succinate CH3OOC(CH2)2 COOCH3

1,5, 9-Cyclododecatriene

Dimethyl Glutarate CH3OOC(CH2)3COOCH3 These dicarboxylic acid esters have wide-range reaction potential. End-product possibilities include polyurethanes, polyesters, wetstrength resins, plasticizers, pig­ ments, synthetic lubricants, pharmaceuticals, perfumes, insec­ ticides, detergents and plant growth regulators, as a starting list.

The ready reactivity of its double bonds combines with its economy and purity to make this cycloolefin a highly interesting route to poly­ mers, flame retardants and many other derivatives.

DBE CH 3 OOC(CH 2 )nCOOCH3 η = 2 to 4

Besides having the above reaction possibilities, DBE is a low-cost, rich (high solids formulating) sol­ vent for acrylic, epoxy, alkyd and other resins.
