Adipic acid
Adipic acid is a key industrial chemical primarily used in the production of nylon, with annual production reaching billions of kilograms. It has limited occurrence in nature and is known for its tart taste. Apart from nylon production, adipic acid also serves as an additive and gelling agent in products like jello and gelatins. Its physical properties include a melting point of 152.1°C and a molar mass of 146.142 g/mol. The chemical formula is C6H10O4, and it exhibits varying solubility in water at different temperatures.
