Sebacic Acid – an overview

What is Sebacic Acid?

Sebacic acid (decanoic diacid, CAS 111-20-6) is a naturally derived dicarboxylic acid obtained from castor oil. This white flake/powder compound boasts exceptional thermal stability and biodegradability, making it indispensable for sustainable industrial solutions.

Optimal Storage Solutions for Sebacic Acid

Proper storage is critical to maintaining sebacic acid’s industrial efficacy and chemical integrity. Based on global standards and empirical research:

1. Environmental Controls
   • Temperature & Humidity: Store below 25°C with relative humidity 35–75% to prevent hydrolysis or caking
   • Light Sensitivity: Use opaque containers or UV-resistant packaging; photodegradation accelerates above 30°C
2. Contamination Prevention
   • Isolate from oxidizers, acids, and toxic substances; cross-contamination risks catalytic decomposition.
   • Industrial-scale bulk storage requires nitrogen-inerted tanks to inhibit oxidation.
3. Handling Protocols
   • Use sealed containers (HDPE-lined drums) for powder forms; liquid formulations demand corrosion-resistant tanks.
   • Transport with desiccant packs and moisture barriers – absorption exceeding 5% degrades thermal stability.
4. Shelf Life & Compliance
   • Certifications: REACH/FDA-compliant packaging extends shelf life to 36 months.
   • Traceability: Blockchain-tracked batches ensure audit-ready quality documentation.
