Products

MATSEN CHEMIE AG is the leading importer of sebacic acid from China. We have been working closely with all renowned manufacturers for many years and can therefore already offer this product 100% CO2 neutral. Sebacic acid does not only have a long tradition at MATSEN CHEMIE AG, the product has been produced on the basis of castor oil since the end of the 1980s and has since been used as a raw material for the production of high-quality polyamides and lubricants, which are subject to high demands in the high-performance sector. In addition, special plasticisers for PVC, so-called sebacates, are produced by esterifying sebacic acid. As an anti-corrosion agent in radiator antifreeze, sebacic acid has a protective function for the components surrounded by the radiator antifreeze. Some modern polyurethanes also contain sebacic acid. Sodium sebacate, the salt of sebacic acid, is also available from MATSEN CHEMIE AG.

Synonyms:

• Sebacic acid
• decanedioic acid
• 1,8-octanedicarboxylic acid

CO2 neutral available:

For this purpose, we first developed a Product Carbon Footprint (PCF), which presents the emissions arising in detail on a “cradle to gate” basis. We also reduce emissions to a minimum through efficient logistics and intelligent storage locations in Europe. We then finally compensate for the remaining unavoidable emissions with Gold Standard CO₂ certificates.
