EMEROX® Azelaic Acid

Emery Oleochemicals offers azelaic acids and dibasic acid blends under the EMEROX® brand name, which is recognized for uncompromised quality and technical performance. The present line of EMEROX azelaic acids is the result of over 70 years of research and development by our company, as a pioneer in the commercial development of azelaic acid. Today, Emery Oleochemicals is the largest global manufacturer of azelaic acid. With high purity and and low monocarboxylic content, azelaic acid is a viable alternative to dicarboxylic acids including, but not limited to, sebacic acid and dodecanedioic acid as an intermediate in polymer processes and lubricant formulations.

Benefits include:

• lower melting points than other commonly used even-carbon dicarboxylic acids,
• monomeric derivatives of EMEROX azelaic acids have improved solubility characteristics compared to the corresponding derivatives of even-carbon dicarboxylic acids,
• unique high purities enable the preparation and modification of high molecular polymers, 
• improves low temperature performance in vinyl based type plasticizers and synthetic ester-based lubricants,
• provides excellent melting point control in polyamide hot melt adhesives,  
• enables grease formulations with high doping points that exhibit improved mechanical stability, water resistance and oil separation properties,
• synergistic blends with other dibasic acids provide excellent foam control and hard water stability when neutralized in water-based metalworking formulations and exhibit excellent corrosion protection for iron and steel,
• ability to react with monohydric alcohols to form relatively high boiling diesters, and 
• derived from renewalbe oleochemical raw materials.

Applications:

• Lubricant base stocks 
• Greases 
• Metalworking (Corrosion inhibitors) 
• CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants & Elastomers) 
• Polyamide (Nylon) 
• Plasticizers 
• Esters 
• Fragrances 
• Personal Care
