11,4-CHDA(1,4-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid)

1,4-CHDA is an alicyclic carboxylic acid which also has carboxylic groups bonded to the 1 and 4 coordinates, and offers great promise for developments in the wide range of unique fields of application that can exploit these properties. Alicyclic carboxylic acids generally offer improved durability for resins that are synthesized compared to aromatic carboxylic acids. This is thought to be because the saturated rings have a lower degree of ultraviolet absorption compared to aromatics, and one of the features of this is transparency. The main fields of application of 1,4-CHDA include aromatic polyesters, unsaturated polyesters, and polyamides, and it can be used by replacing some or all of conventional organic acid constituents with 1,4-CHDA as an ingredient.
