Octadecanedioic acid (ODDA) (C18H34O4) is an intermediate chemical used as a basic building block for the formulation of compounds. It is produced by microbial fermentation and is usually found in various plants and animal fats. It is a long waxy chain of dicarboxylic acid with two carbon components that appears as a white solid with a mildly pungent, oily odor. ODDA is widely used as a lubricating agent, food additive, emulsifier, and emollient. It is also used to manufacture pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, soaps, shampoos, insulators, and detergents. As a result, ODDA finds extensive applications across the automotive, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and construction industries.
