Dimer acid, often referred to as dimerized fatty acids, are a class of dicarboxylic acids that are synthesized by clay catalysed oilgomerization of unsaturated fatty acids (C18). Unsaturated fatty acids that form the raw material for dimer acids are obtained from natural sources including tall oil fatty acids, rapeseed oil, cottonseed oil, and soybean oil, among the others.
