Overview of Azelaic Acid

Azelaic Acid (C9H16O4) is a naturally occurring saturated dicarboxylic acid found in grains like barley, wheat, and rye. In its industrial form, it is a white crystalline powder prized for its diverse functionality, ranging from high-performance polymer production to advanced dermatological treatments. As a prominent speciality chemicals manufacturer, Chemical Bull offers high-purity Azelaic Acid, refined to ensure superior color stability and minimal monobasic acid content. Azelaic  Acid is a naturally occurring dicarboxylic acid used in skincare formulations, and it is often listed under azelaic acid ingredients in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products for its brightening and acne-control properties.

Applications of Azelaic Acid

As an established industrial chemical manufacturer in India, we supply Azelaic Acid to several specialized manufacturing streams:

  • Pharmaceuticals & Cosmeceuticals: A key active ingredient in treatments for acne and rosacea due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. As a pharma-grade chemical manufacturer, we provide high-assay material that meets strict dermatological purity standards.

  • Polymers & Plastics: Used as a vital monomer in the production of specialized Nylon (such as Nylon 6,9) and polyester resins. It serves the needs of polyurethane resin manufacturers looking for monomers that impart flexibility and moisture resistance.

  • Lubricants & Greases: Reacted to produce complex lithium greases and high-temperature lubricants. It is a preferred choice for speciality chemical manufacturers focusing on aerospace and automotive lubrication.

  • Plasticizers: Used to manufacture low-temperature plasticizers for PVC and other copolymers, ensuring flexibility in extreme environments.

  • Agro Chemicals Manufacturers: Utilized in the synthesis of plant growth regulators and specialized herbicides. It acts as a stable organic intermediate for agrochemical manufacturers focusing on sustainable crop protection.

  • Corrosion Inhibitors: Applied in aqueous metalworking fluids and cooling systems to provide superior oxidative stability and metal protection.

Azelaic Acid MSDS

Azelaic Acid is a mild organic acid that can cause skin and eye irritation in its concentrated powder form. It should be handled with care and stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse in tightly sealed packaging to maintain chemical stability and prevent contamination. For a detailed COA or technical dossier, please submit your bulk inquiry to our sales division for current lead times.


Safety, MSDS & Professional Storage

Due to its organic acid profile and crystalline form, professional handling is a top priority:

  • MSDS Profile: Registered under CAS No. 123-99-9. It is classified as non-hazardous for transport; however, it can cause mild skin and serious eye irritation in its concentrated powder form.

  • Handling: Wear appropriate PPE, including safety goggles and gloves. Use a dust mask (N95) during bulk handling to avoid respiratory irritation from fine particles.

  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep the material in its original, tightly sealed packaging to prevent moisture absorption and ensure long-term chemical stability. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents and high-temperature zones.

  • Regulatory Compliance: Every shipment is accompanied by a full COA and MSDS, ensuring it meets the rigorous quality standards for pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial distribution.
