I-Adipic acid, eyaziwa nangokuthi i-fatty acid, iyi-organic dibasic acid ebalulekile edlala indima ebalulekile ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene. Ngefomula yesakhiwo ye-HOOC(CH2)4COOH, le nhlanganisela eguquguqukayo ingabhekana nokusabela okuningana okufana nokwakhiwa kukasawoti, i-esterification, kanye ne-amidation. Ukwengeza, inamandla okwenza i-polycondense nge-diamine noma i-diol ukuze yakhe ama-polymer amangqamuzana aphezulu. Le acid ye-industrial-grade dicarboxylic acid inenani elikhulu ekukhiqizweni kwamakhemikhali, embonini ye-organic synthesis, imithi, kanye nokukhiqizwa kwezithako. Ukubaluleka kwayo okungenakuphikwa kubonakala esikhundleni sayo njenge-dicarboxylic acid yesibili ekhiqizwa kakhulu emakethe.
