C21 dicarboxylic acid (CAS No. 53980-88-4), also called 5(or 6)-Carboxy-4-hexyl-2- cyclohexene-octanoic acid or 2,2-dimethylpropionyl bromide, containing about 10% oleic- and other fatty acid which is a multifaceted dicarboxylic acid (diacid) ideal for co-emulsification, corrosion inhibition, lubrication and wetting in soluble, semisynthetic and synthetic oils. it can be the equivalent to DIACID 1550. Made from sustainable materials and renewable resources, NOVACID DC21 is resistant to bioactivity, yet still biodegradable. NOVACID DC21 has been known globally in the metalworking fluid (MWF) industry as an excellent co-emulsifier in soluble oil and in semisynthetic metalworking formulations. Novacid DC21 can be replacement of DIACID 1550.
