Octadecanedioic acid (CAS No. 871-70-5) is an 18-carbon long-chain dicarboxylic acid, produced industrially via bio-fermentation. Octadecanedioic acid is an important intermediate used in the synthesis of pharmaceuticals, especially semaglutide and octadecanedioic acid mono-tert-butyl ester.

1. Serves as key intermediate for long‑chain peptide drug synthesis.
2. Acts as polymerization monomer for high‑performance long‑chain polyamides.
3. Applied in hot‑melt adhesives to improve flexibility and bonding strength.
4. Used as additive for synthetic lubricants and metal‑working fluids.
5. Utilized in powder coatings to enhance coating toughness and corrosion resistance.
