4,4'-Diaminodicyclohexylmethane is the name for organic compounds with the formula CH2(C6H10NH2)2. It is classified as a diamine. In the epoxy industry it is often referred to as PACM, short for para-diaminodicyclohexylmethane. It is used as a curing agent for epoxy resins[1] It finds particular use in epoxy flooring.[2] Another use is to produce diisocyanates, which are precursors to polyurethanes. The mixture is a colorless solid, but typical samples are yellowish and oily. The compound is produced as a mixture of three isomers by the hydrogenation of methylenedianiline.[3] These isomers are, in decreasing order of their yield from the hydrogenation, trans-trans, cis-trans, and a small amount of cis-cis.[4]
Uses
This diamine is mainly used to make epoxy resin curing agents for CASE (Coatings, Adhesives, Sealants, and Elastomers) applications especially flooring.[5] Another application arises from its reaction with phosgene to produce a cycloaliphatic diisocyanate Hydrogenated MDI, which is used to produce light stable polyurethanes. The substance may also be used as a chemical intermediate to make other molecules.[6]
4,4'-Diaminodicyclohexylmethane was used in producing a polyamide called Qiana, since discontinued. For this application, the condensation partner was dodecanoic acid.[7]
Safety
It is an alkaline skin irritant. At 300 – 1000 mg/kg (oral, rats), the -1">50 is low. It does not exhibit mutagenic properties.[8]
