Dimer acids (dimerized fatty acids) are dicarboxylic acids produced by dimerizing unsaturated fatty acids obtained from tall oil, oleic acid, canola oil or cottonseed oil, usually on clay catalysts. Dimer acids can be used to synthesize polyamide resins and hot melt adhesives. They are also used in alkyd resins, adhesives, surfactants, fuel oil additives and lubricants.
