Description

Ammonium Adipate is the ammonium salt of adipic acid, a key intermediate in the production of polyamides and other polymers. This compound is valued for its role as a controlled-release nitrogen source and as a precursor in specialty chemical synthesis. It is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries seeking reliable, high-purity raw materials.

Application

• Polymer Industry: Acts as a monomer or chain regulator in the production of specialty polyamides (nylons) and other condensation polymers.
• Agriculture: Serves as a slow-release nitrogen fertilizer component and a buffering agent in nutrient solutions.
• Pharmaceutical Synthesis: Utilized as an intermediate or salt-forming agent in the manufacture of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Chemical Intermediate: A key precursor for synthesizing adipic acid derivatives, plasticizers, and lubricant additives.
• Laboratory & Research: Used in analytical chemistry as a standard and in biochemical research applications.
• Flame Retardants: Can be incorporated as a component in certain intumescent flame-retardant formulations.

Quality Control

Our Ammonium Adipate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for purity, identity, and physical properties. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting results for assay, impurity profile, and other critical parameters is available for every shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
