  • Applications

    Chemical name: 8-Heptadecenedioic acid, (8Z)-; CAS 253687-28-4. It is primarily used as a diacid monomer in the production of specialty polyesters, polyurethanes, and polyamides, where its long aliphatic chain and cis double bond provide flexibility and sites for chemical modification. The internal unsaturation enables functionalization (epoxidation, hydrogenation, or derivatization) and makes the compound suitable as a reactive intermediate in coatings, inks, and adhesive formulations. It can also function as a plasticizer or lubricant component to improve processability and flexibility of polymer systems. As an unsaturated diacid, it is commonly viewed as a building block for derivative synthesis in industrial manufacturing, enabling tailored properties in high-performance polymers and related materials.
