Applications
Sebacoyl chloride is used in the synthesis of nylon-6,10 polymer by reacting with hexamethylenediamine. It is also used to prepare decanedioic acid bis-(3-dimethylamino-propyl) ester in the presence of triethylamine as catalyst. It is used as an intermediate in chemical synthesis. It is involved in the production of polyamide microcapsules by polycondensation of p-phenylenediamine with sebacoyl chloride using diethylenetriamine (DETA) cross-linker and oleic acid as a plasticizer.

Solubility
Miscible with hydrocarbons and ethers.

Notes
Store in a cool place. Moisture sensitive. Keep the container tightly closed in a dry and well-ventilated place. Incompatible with water, acids, bases, amines, alcohols and oxidizing agents.
