Frequently Asked Questions
What is dimethyldicyane used for?
Dimethyldicyane, 4,4'-methylenebis(2-methylcyclohexylamine) (CAS 6864-37-5), is a cycloaliphatic primary diamine. Diamines of this class are used as curing agents (hardeners) for epoxy resin systems, as amine crosslinkers in thermoset formulations, and as chemical intermediates.
What is dimethyldicyane made of, chemically?
It is a cycloaliphatic primary diamine, CAS 6864-37-5, molecular formula C15H30N2, consisting of two methylcyclohexylamine rings bridged by a methylene group. The two primary amine groups are what enable epoxy crosslinking.
How does dimethyldicyane cure epoxy resins?
As a difunctional primary diamine, it reacts with epoxide groups to crosslink epoxy resins into a thermoset network, acting as the hardener component. Cycloaliphatic amines of this type are selected for their ring-based backbone in epoxy and polyamide chemistry.
What HS code is dimethyldicyane classified under?
It ships under HS 2921.30 (cyclanic, cyclenic or cycloterpenic mono- or polyamines, and their derivatives; salts thereof). Verify the destination tariff line and documentation with your customs broker.
