3. Product Overview

Sebacic Acid is a bio-based dicarboxylic acid derived from castor oil and valued globally for its chemical stability, flexibility contribution, and renewable origin. As a C10 diacid, it occupies a critical position in polymer chemistry, enabling the production of materials that combine strength with flexibility and resistance to moisture and chemicals.

At Nova Industries, Sebacic Acid is produced through a controlled cleavage and purification process starting from castor oil derivatives, ensuring consistent purity, controlled particle form, and reliable performance across batches. Tight control over crystallization and finishing allows the product to meet the demanding requirements of polymer, lubricant, and specialty chemical manufacturers.

Unlike petrochemical-based diacids, castor-derived Sebacic Acid offers a renewable, non-toxic, and environmentally responsible alternative without compromising technical performance. Buyers choose this material when they need predictable reactivity, stable supply, and compatibility with high-performance formulations across diverse industrial sectors.
