Description

A yellowish to white crystalline powder made by the oxidation of Oleic acid. Azelaic acid is formed during the drying of Linseed oil by the oxidative scission of some of the C18 fatty acids. It is found as a constituent in the chromatographic analysis of dried linseed oil. Azelaic acid is also added to alkyds, [[polyamide|polyamides], polyesters, and polyurethanes as a plasticizer.

Synonyms and Related Terms

nonanedioic acid; 1,7-heptanedicarboxylic acid; lepargylic acid; anchoic acid; azeleic acid
