The characteristics and application fields of neodecanoic acid

Characteristics and application fields of neodecanoic acid
Neodecanoic acid, another name in Chinese: tert-decanoic acid; 2-ethyl-2,5-dimethylhexanoic acid; tertiary carbonic acid; decacarbonic acid. Neodecanoic acid is a low-viscosity aqueous liquid with a light odor at room temperature. It is a key intermediate for processing and manufacturing various products. It has very good hydrolysis stability, thermal stability and chemical reagent stability. Neodecanoic acid has very good solubility in non-polar compounds, making it a very wide range of applications.
Neodecanoic acid and its derivatives are important fine chemical products and basic raw materials. Due to their unique structure and physical and chemical properties, neodecanoic acid and its derivatives are widely used in coatings, medicine, pesticides, metal processing and extraction due to their excellent performance and many other industries.

Neodecanoic acid itself can be used in: ceramic bleeding ink, metal processing aids, metal extractants, and the preparation of lubricating oil and cosmetics.
Neodecanoic acid metal salts (Fe, Co, Cr, Ti, Sb, Ni, etc.) are used in: ceramic bleeding ink, radial tire adhesive, paint drier and PVC stabilizer, etc.
Neodecanoic acid chloride is used in the following synthesis: peroxide initiator, pesticide intermediate and pharmaceutical intermediate.
Used as radial tire adhesive – neodecanoic acid can be made into its cobalt salt, which is a highly active adhesion promoter for natural rubber, synthetic rubber or steel wires of these glues with brass, zinc, bare copper or zinc Adhesion promotion of cords, ropes, metal sheets.
Used as a paint drier – neodecanoic acid metal salt can accelerate the oxidation, polymerization and drying of the paint film. The drier can reduce the activation energy generated by free radicals, thereby accelerating the post-crosslinking reaction of resin molecules and shortening the drying time of the paint film.
Used as a metal extractant – my country is rich in rare earth ores, which are generally only mined and roughly extracted, and then exported at a low price, and then imported at a high price after refined processing, which is economically uneconomical. Neodecanoic acid can be used for the separation and refinement of single component rare earth elements.
Used as a lubricant—neodecanoic acid and its derivatives have low freezing point, good solubility, good oxidation stability and hydrolysis stability, good low temperature effect, and good solubility in various solvents. Its organic solvent solution has low viscosity and good lubricity, and has antirust properties and reduces drag coefficient. Based on it, it can be formulated into automobile crankcase lubricating oil, various engines, brake lubricating oil, metal processing, chain lubricating oil, etc.

Used as a polymer peroxide initiator – the peroxide initiator prepared by neodecanoic acid is more stable and can be used in aqueous solutions of various pH values, and can still be used at low temperatures, for example, below 70 ° C, it is still resistant to Vinyl chloride polymerizes effectively.
Used in the fields of medicine and pesticides – because neodecanoic acid has a highly branched chain structure, it is more soluble than similar non-branched products, and can be used to produce drugs for the treatment of arthritis, tuberculosis, psoriasis, etc., and to produce ampicillin, cefazolin, etc. The key raw materials of various antibiotics also belong to neodecanoic acid derivatives; in terms of pesticides, neodecanoic acid can also be used as post-based herbicides for plant defoliation and cotton, soybean, oat, potato and other crops.

Used as a catalyst and preservative—silver neodecanoate can be used in the preparation of ethylene oxide catalysts, and nickel neodecanoate can be used in the preparation of oxidation catalysts. Zinc neodecanoate and copper salts can be used as wood preservatives, etc.
Used in the field of electricity and electronics – silver neodecanoate can be used in the production of capacitor terminals, and is also used in the manufacture of silicate superconductors; lead neodecanoate and stannous can be used in the manufacture of circuit boards; barium neodecanoate, copper, yttrium Salts are used in the preparation of electrical conductor foils and thin-film superconductors.
