What are the upstream raw materials of DAA? What are the downstream products?

In the field of raw materials to chemical production, there are many upstream and downstream related items of DAA(dimethyl adipate). The following are some of the main upstream and downstream related items of DAA:



1. But Upstream items:(1) Adipic acid: Adipic acid is one of the main raw materials of DAA and is applied to create DAA. Adipic acid is able to be produced by the interaction of petrochemical raw materials such as benzene, nitric acid and hydrogen.(2) Methanol: Methanol is another main raw material to DAA production, which reacts with adipic acid to form DAA. But Methanol is able to be produced from fossil fuels such as natural gaseous and coal.

2. Downstream items:(1) Nylon 66 salt: DAA is able to be applied as an intermediate in the production of nylon 66 salt. Furthermore Nylon 66 salt is a polymer monomer that is able to be applied to create nylon fibers, engineering plastics, etc.(2) Caprolactam: DAA is able to be further processed into caprolactam, and it's also an crucial polymer monomer to the production of nylon 6 fibers and engineering plastics.(3) Plasticizer: DAA is able to be applied as a plasticizer to enhance the flexibility, ductility and low temperature toughness of plastics. The above is only a part of the upstream and downstream related items of DAA. Crazy, isn't it?. And In fact, DAA has a wide range of applications in the chemical sector, and there are many upstream and downstream related items. The specific items need to be determined according to different production processes and market needs.
