Application | ||
|---|---|---|
More than 92% of the production of adipic acid is dedicated for the production of nylon 6,6 by a reaction with HMD Hexamethylene diamine. Nylon is utilized in fibbers, clothing, plastics, filaments, food packaging. Adipic acid is also used in polyurethane resins, foam, shoe soles, and as food additive |
