Product overview & key benefits
Sebacic acid (decanedioic acid) is produced from castor oil, a renewable raw material, which makes it attractive for bio-based polyamides and esters. High-purity grades are used for polymer synthesis, where color and purity directly affect the polymer; ester grades go into plasticizers (DOS, DBS) and synthetic lubricants.
Polymer grade
High purity for nylon 610 and 1010 and polyesters.
Ester raw material
For plasticizers and synthetic lubricants.

Selection & comparison
What to Specify
| Your requirement | What to tell us |
|---|---|
| Polymer synthesis (polyamide, polyester) | Purity, color and metal limits your process needs |
| Plasticizer or lubricant ester production | Acid number and color targets of the final ester |
| Bio-based content claims | Whether you need a bio-based content statement and test method |
| Replacing an existing source | Your current TDS or COA; we match on the parameters you approve |
Packaging & storage
Packaging
25 kg net bags or cartons with a PE inner liner. Palletized; private-label packing on request.
Storage
Keep sealed in a cool, dry, ventilated place away from heat and direct sun. See the SDS for full handling details.
Lead time & terms
Typically 3–15 business days from order confirmation, depending on quantity. FOB, CIF or DAP to major ports.
From first email to approved supply
Write down the critical parameters
Purity, color, moisture and ash are the usual acceptance checks. List the limits on your incoming-inspection sheet so we quote against them.
Ask for a sample with a COA
Run the sample in your own process and compare it with your current material before switching.
Agree documents and packaging
Confirm packaging, volume, destination and the documents you need (COA, SDS, origin or bio-based statements) before the first order.
Tell us your requirement. We match the grade.
Start with your application, quantity and destination. Add your current specification and we will quote against it.

Bio-based Sebacic Acid FAQ
Is it really bio-based?
It is produced from castor oil. If you need a bio-based content statement or test, tell us the method you require.
Which grade do I need for nylon?
Polymer synthesis needs the high-purity grade with tight color and metal limits. Send your incoming specification.
What packaging is available?
25 kg bags are standard; larger bags on request.
Can I get a sample before ordering?
Yes. Tell us the polymer, the test you plan to run and the quantity you need. Samples ship with a COA so you can compare the lot against your current material.
What if a COA does not match our agreed specification?
Send us the agreed specification and the COA showing the difference (parameter, unit and test method). We check it with the production batch record before you accept the material, and replace or re-test where the lot is out of specification.
