Application	Sebacic acid serves multiple industrial purposes due to its versatile properties. As a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid with the chemical structure (HOOC)(CH2)8(COOH), sebacic acid appears as white flaky or powdered crystals. While it is non-hazardous, caution is required in handling its powdered form due to the risk of flash ignition. Originally named by Thenard LJ in 1802, its name derives from the Latin "sebaceus" or "sebum," indicating its initial use in candle production. Industrially, sebacic acid and its derivatives, such as azelaic acid, are utilized in applications including plasticizers, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, cosmetics, and as intermediates for synthesizing materials like polyamide (nylon) and alkyd resins. It's a key component in manufacturing items such as vinyl resin plasticizers, extrusion plastics, adhesives, and synthetic rubber. Today, the majority of sebacic acid production occurs in China, which exports over 20,000 metric tonnes annually, accounting for more than 90% of global trade.
