Dodecyl Succinic Anhydride

Dodecenyl Succinic Anhydride (DDSA) is a colorless to pale yellow liquid, widely used as a curing agent and crosslinker in epoxy resin formulations, where it enhances thermal and chemical resistance, adhesion, and mechanical strength.

This compound is also employed in the production of lubricants, plasticizers, and additives for coatings and adhesives, improving performance properties such as flexibility and durability. Its reactive anhydride group allows it to chemically bond with hydroxyl and amine groups, making it valuable in specialty polymer synthesis and surface modification applications.
