Sebacic Acid - from The Castor Oil Dictionary
Sebacic acid is a bi-carboxylic acid with structure (HOOC)(CH2)8(COOH), and is naturally occurring. In its pure state it is a white flake or powdered crystal. The product is described as non-hazardous, though in its powdered form can be prone to flash ignition (a typical risk in handling fine organic powders).
Sebaceus is Latin for tallow candle, sebum (tallow) is Latin for tallow, and refers to its use in the manufacture of candles. Sebacic acid is a derivative of castor oil, with the vast majority of world production occurring in China which annually exports over 20000 metric tonnes, representing over 90% of global trade of the product.
In the industrial setting, sebacic acid and its analogs such as azelaic acid (Azelaic Acid – from Wikipedia) can be used in plasticizers, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, cosmetics, candles, etc. Sebacic acid is also used as an intermediate for aromatics, antiseptics and painting materials.
More inputs on Sebacic Acid:
- Sebacic Acid is a white flake or powdered crystal. It is resolved in ethanol (Ethanol Info from Alternative Fuels Data Center), ether and soluble slightly in water.
- Synonyms: 1,8-Octanedicarboxylic Acid; Decanedioic Acid; 1,10-Decanedioic Acid; n-Decanedioic Acid; Acide sebacique; Dicarboxylic acid C10; Sebacinsaure; Decanedioic Acid
- Sebacic Acid was named from the Latin sebaceus (tallow candle) or sebum (tallow) in reference to its use in the manufacture of candles.
- Sebacic acid can be synthesized from phenols (Phenols from Wikipedia) and cresols (Cresols Info), but castor oil oxidation is considered a “greener” process.
- Sebacic Acid and its derivatives such as Azelaic Acid (Azelaic Acid from DermNet New Zealand) have a variety of industrial uses as plasticizers, lubricants, hydraulic fluids, cosmetics, candles, etc. They are used in the synthesis of polyamide and alkyd resins.
- Sebacic Acid is also used as an intermediate for aromatics, antiseptics and painting materials. A large number of esters can be obtained from thousands of potential starting materials. (Esters from Wikipedia, Esters from Steve’s Place)

Carboxylic acids have industrial application directly or indirectly through acid halides, esters, salts, and anhydride forms, polymerization, and etc. Dicarboxylic acids can yield two kinds of salts or esters, as they contain two carboxyl groups in one molecule. It is useful in a variety of industrial applications include
- Plasticizer for polymers
- Biodegradable solvents and lubricants
- Engineering plastics
- Epoxy curing agent
- Adhesive and powder coating
- Corrosion inhibitor
- Perfumery and pharmaceutical
- Electrolyte
There are almost infinite esters obtained from carboxylic acids. Esters are formed by removal of water from an acid and an alcohol. Carboxylic acid esters are used as in a variety of direct and indirect applications.
