Relating to or derived from fat; used chiefly in the name of adipic acid, a white crystalline acid used to make nylon.
The word is almost always met in the phrase adipic acid, a white solid produced in huge quantities by industry. Its main job is to be joined with another chemical to form the long chains of nylon fibre and plastic. It also serves as a mild acidifier in some foods and as an ingredient in certain polyurethanes. The name goes back to a Latin word for fat, because the substance was first obtained by treating fats with nitric acid.
