1. High-Performance Polyamides:
- As a key monomer for synthesizing PA1212, PA612 and PA1012, DDDA enhances the toughness, wear resistance and chemical resistance of engineering plastics, which are widely used in automotive parts, aerospace components and electronic connectors.
2. Specialty Lubricants:
- Used to produce synthetic ester-based lubricants with high viscosity index and low volatility, ideal for high-temperature industrial equipment, precision machinery and automotive engine oils.
3. Functional Coatings & Adhesives:
- Serves as a raw material for manufacturing high-solid-content, low-VOC coatings and structural adhesives, improving adhesion, weather resistance and corrosion protection for metal, plastic and composite substrates.
4. Personal Care & Pharmaceuticals:
- Applied in synthesizing biodegradable surfactants, antimicrobial agents and pharmaceutical intermediates, with excellent biocompatibility and safety profiles.
5. Other Fine Chemicals:
- Utilized in producing corrosion inhibitors, plasticizers and textile auxiliaries, delivering superior performance compared to traditional short-chain dicarboxylic acids.
