1. High-Performance Polyamides (Nylons):
- It is a key raw material for producing Nylon 1313 (Polytridecanamide). This engineering plastic exhibits excellent dimensional stability, low moisture absorption, chemical resistance, and electrical insulation properties, making it ideal for automotive parts, electrical components, and industrial fibers.
2. Specialty Polyesters & Plasticizers:
- Used in synthesizing copolyesters and polyester polyols for coatings, adhesives, and elastomers. Its derivatives can serve as efficient plasticizers, enhancing the flexibility and low-temperature performance of polymers like PVC.
3. Fragrances & Musk Aromas:
- Serves as a crucial starting material for the synthesis of macrocyclic musk fragrances (e.g., Ethylene Brassylate). These musks are valued in perfumery for their mild, sweet, and long-lasting scent profile and superior biodegradability compared to nitro-musks.
4. Corrosion Inhibitors & Lubricants:
- Its metal salt derivatives (e.g., zinc brassylicate) are effective corrosion inhibitors in coatings and lubricating greases.
5. Powder Coatings:
- Used in the production of polyamide powders for coatings, providing smooth finishes and good mechanical properties.
- Packaging Options
- Industrial Grade: 25 kg net weight per woven-plastic bag lined with PE bag, moisture-proof and dust-proof.
- Bulk Order: Customized packaging solutions (e.g., 500 kg / 1000 kg FIBC bags) available to meet large-scale procurement needs.
- Storage Requirements
Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse, away from direct sunlight, heat sources, and incompatible substances (e.g., strong oxidizers, bases).
Shelf life is 24 months when stored under recommended conditions.
- Handling Precautions
Wear protective gloves and goggles during operation to avoid direct contact with skin and eyes. In case of accidental contact, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water and seek medical advice if necessary.
