Create a chemical structuremolecular model of adipic acid (Hexanedioic acid) out of Genuine Molymod Model Parts by indigoinstruments.com

Adipic acid's chemical structure can be described as an alpha,omega-dicarboxylic acid or alternatively as a 1,4-dicarboxy derivative of butane. Adipic acid's ester, potassium adipate is found in herbal salts and is also used in baking powder, fruit drinks & jams, beer & pudding as a firming agent. Its metabolic end products are released in urine.

Adipic acid has a variety of industrial uses, primarily the production of Nylon 6,6 via polymerization with hexamethylenediamine. It is also used in foams, coatings, adhesives, and synthetic leather. As a food additive, it regulates acidity in beverages, gelatin desserts, and baked goods while adding tartness similar to citric acid. It can enhance the flexibility of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) & increase temperature stability in synthetic lubricants.
