China and the United States are the leading exporters of dodecanedioic acid (CAS 693-23-2), together accounting for the majority of global shipments, while Germany, South Korea, and Japan represent the largest importing markets. Imports into the European Union and East Asia have remained relatively stable since 2022, with modest growth aligned with steady demand from polymer and specialty chemical sectors, while dodecanedioic acid prices have shown moderate upward pressure amid tightening supply from key Chinese producers.
Dodecanedioic acid (CAS 693-23-2) is a white to off-white crystalline solid at room temperature, odorless, with a melting point of approximately 124–128 °C and low volatility. It is a saturated aliphatic dicarboxylic acid, classified as an organic chemical intermediate. Primarily used in the synthesis of high-performance polyamides (e.g., nylon-6,12), it serves as a key monomer for engineering plastics, specialty polyesters, and corrosion-resistant coatings. Its applications span high-end polymers for automotive and aerospace components, lubricants, plasticizers, and adhesives—particularly where thermal stability, flexibility, and hydrolytic resistance are required.
