Pripol^™ 1006

CAS number: 68783-41-5 | C18 dimer acid | derived from vegetable fatty acids

Pripol^™ 1006 is a high-purity (97%), hydrogenated and distilled dimer fatty acid designed to enable the production of high molecular weight polymers with excellent mechanical strength and light color. Its high difunctional chemistry supports robust performance in polyesters, polyamide coatings, adhesives, and elastomers, where strength, flexibility, and durability must be balanced. In addition to contributing to strong polymer networks, Pripol™ 1006 offers good color and color stability, along with water repellency and thermo oxidative stability.

A key differentiator of Pripol 1006 is its low glass transition temperature, which allows polymer systems to maintain flexibility at lower temperatures. This makes it particularly well suited for formulations that must perform across a wide temperature range without becoming brittle.

Typical applications include adhesives and sealants, automotive coverings, industrial coatings, engineering plastics, and other high molecular weight polymer systems, particularly those exposed to moisture and temperature unstable conditions, where flexibility, hydrophobicity, and oxidative stability are required.
