  • DACH – An Important Alicyclic Diamine Compound
    DACH – An Important Alicyclic Diamine Compound
    Jul 03, 2026
    1,2-Diaminocyclohexane (1,2-DACH), with the chemical formula C₆H₁₄N₂, is an important alicyclic diamine compound. At ambient temperature, it appears as a colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with an ammonia-like odor. As the hydrogenation product of o-phenylenediamine, it exists in two geometric isomeric forms, cis and trans. Owing to the chair conformation of the cyclohexane ring, the trans isomer further comprises a pair of enantiomers. 1,2-Diaminocyclohexane exhibits excellent chemical stability and reactivity, and is widely used in epoxy resin curing agents, pharmaceutical intermediates (e.g., in the synthesis of oxaliplatin), agrochemicals, dyes, and the preparation of high-performance polymers. With the advancement of the domestic production of adiponitrile, the supply of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane as a by-product has become increasingly abundant, further broadening its application prospects.   General Information Item Details Chemical name 1,2-Diaminocyclohexane CAS No. 694-83-7 Synonyms 1,2-Diaminocyclohexane, 1,2-DACH Applications Chemical industry, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals     Physical Properties At ambient temperature, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane is a clear, colorless to pale yellow transparent liquid with a faint ammonia-like odor. Its relative density is approximately 0.931 g/cm³, with a melting point range of 41–45 °C, a boiling point of 188–192 °C, and a flash point of 76 °C. The compound is sensitive to air; prolonged exposure may lead to oxidation and yellowing of the product. It is readily soluble in water and also soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol.     Chemical Properties The molecule of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane contains two primary amino groups, conferring typical aliphatic amine chemical properties, including basicity and nucleophilicity. Due to the adjacent positioning of the two amino groups (at the 1,2-positions), it exhibits unique coordination capability, forming stable chelates with various metal ions. The compound displays stereoisomerism, existing predominantly in cis and trans configurations. In the cis isomer, the two amino groups are oriented on the same side of the cyclohexane ring plane; in the trans isomer, they are on opposite sides. The trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, being chiral, exists as a pair of enantiomers, (1R,2R) and (1S,2S), among which (1R,2R)-(-)-1,2-DACH is of significant value in pharmaceutical synthesis.     Preparation Methods Hydrogenation of o-Phenylenediamine The industrial production of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane is primarily achieved via the catalytic hydrogenation of o-phenylenediamine. The reaction is typically carried out in an autoclave or a trickle-bed reactor using metal catalysts such as ruthenium (Ru) or nickel (Ni). During the process, the benzene ring of o-phenylenediamine is saturated to yield 1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The ratio of cis to trans isomers in the product can be controlled by adjusting reaction conditions, including temperature, pressure, and catalyst type.   Co-production Process In the hydrogenation of adiponitrile to produce hexamethylenediamine, certain amounts of specialty amines such as 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and cyclohexylimine are generated as by-products. With the commissioning of domestic adiponitrile production facilities, this co-production route has become an important source of 1,2-diaminocyclohexane, contributing to cost reduction and improved resource utilization.   Applications Epoxy Resin Curing 1,2-Diaminocyclohexane is a novel and highly efficient curing agent for epoxy resins. It features low dosage requirements, cost-effectiveness, and rapid curing speed. Epoxy resins cured with 1,2-diaminocyclohexane exhibit excellent chemical resistance, heat resistance, and mechanical properties, and are widely used in wind power structural adhesives, electronic encapsulation materials, and high-performance coatings.   Pharmaceutical Synthesis In the pharmaceutical field, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane serves as a key intermediate in the synthesis of various drugs. In particular, (1R,2R)-(-)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane is a critical ligand precursor for the anticancer drug oxaliplatin. Additionally, it is employed in the synthesis of other biologically active heterocyclic compounds.   Other Applications 1,2-Diaminocyclohexane is also utilized in the synthesis of various agrochemicals and dyes. In the agrochemical sector, it serves as an intermediate in the synthesis of carbamate herbicides and other heterocyclic fungicides. In the dye industry, it is used in the preparation of specific azo dyes and functional auxiliaries. As a monomer or chain extender, 1,2-diaminocyclohexane can also be used in the preparation of high-performance polymers such as polyamides and polyurethanes, with its alicyclic structure imparting excellent weatherability and anti-yellowing properties to the resulting polymers.

  • Properties and Main Applications of N,N-Dimethylaniline
    Properties and Main Applications of N,N-Dimethylaniline
    Jul 01, 2026
    Physicochemical Properties N,N-Dimethylaniline (abbreviated as DMA), also known as dimethylphenylamine, has the molecular formula C₆H₅N(CH₃)₂ and a molecular weight of 121. It is a pale yellow oily liquid with a melting point of 2.45 °C, a boiling point of 194 °C, a flash point of 62.8 °C, and a relative density of 0.9557 (20/4 °C). It is sparingly soluble in water but soluble in methanol, ethanol, propanol, chloroform, diethyl ether, and aromatic organic solvents.   Chemical Properties N,N-Dimethylaniline exhibits weak basicity and reacts with picric acid to form a picrate salt with a melting point of 163–164 °C. It reacts with alkyl halides to yield quaternary ammonium salts. Upon reduction, it can yield dihydro-N,N-dimethylaniline or tetrahydro-N,N-dimethylaniline, depending on the reaction conditions. Hydrogenation using palladium as a catalyst yields cyclohexanone and dimethylamine. N,N-Dimethylaniline is readily oxidized; oxidation with potassium permanganate or with concentrated sulfuric acid at 190–200 °C yields tetramethylbenzidine. Oxidation with manganese dioxide in chloroform yields N-formylmethylaniline. Oxidation with neutral hydrogen peroxide or peracids yields dimethylaniline oxide [C₆H₅N(CH₃)₂O]. When reacted with acylating agents, the methyl groups are substituted by acyl groups. Reaction with tetranitromethane in pyridine results in nitrosation of the methyl group rather than substitution on the benzene ring. Halogenation, nitration, and sulfonation reactions occur at the ortho and para positions, while nitrosation, coupling, and Friedel–Crafts reactions take place at the para position.   Toxicology N,N-Dimethylaniline is highly toxic, with toxicity similar to that of aniline.

  • N,N-Dimethylaniline – An Aromatic Amine Organic Compound Used in Dye and Pharmaceutical Synthesis
    N,N-Dimethylaniline – An Aromatic Amine Organic Compound Used in Dye and Pharmaceutical Synthesis
    Jul 01, 2026
    N,N-Dimethylaniline (chemical formula: C₈H₁₁N) is an important organic chemical raw material belonging to the class of aromatic amine compounds. It is the product of substituting both hydrogen atoms on the amino group of aniline with methyl groups. At room temperature, N,N-dimethylaniline appears as a pale yellow to light brown oily liquid with a characteristic pungent, irritating odor. It is sparingly soluble in water but miscible with ethanol, diethyl ether, chloroform, and aromatic organic solvents.   As a key intermediate, N,N-dimethylaniline finds extensive applications in the dye, pharmaceutical, pesticide, fragrance, and rubber industries. In the dye industry, it serves as a crucial raw material for synthesizing triphenylmethane dyes (e.g., Basic Green, Victoria Blue) and azo dyes. In the pharmaceutical industry, it is used in the synthesis of various drugs, including cephalosporin V and sulfonamides. Additionally, it is utilized as a solvent, an epoxy resin curing agent, and a rubber vulcanization accelerator. Due to its high toxicity and classification as a suspected carcinogen, strict adherence to safety protection protocols is mandatory during its production and use.   Basic Information Chemical Name N,N-Dimethylaniline CAS NO. 121-69-7 Synonyms Dimethylaniline, Dimethylaminobenzene, N,N-Xylidine Application  Fields Dyes, Pharmaceuticals, Pesticides, Rubber     Discovery Background and Evolution The discovery of N,N-dimethylaniline is closely tied to the dye industry revolution of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. In 1876, while working at BASF, German chemist Heinrich Caro investigated the synthesis of Methylene Blue, which involved reactions with N,N-dimethylaniline and its derivatives. Methylene Blue was the world's first synthetic phenothiazine dye, and its synthesis utilized 4-aminodimethylaniline, marking the beginning of N,N-dimethylaniline's role as a vital chemical raw material.   With the vigorous growth of the dye industry, the demand for N,N-dimethylaniline increased dramatically. Early synthesis methods primarily involved the high-temperature, high-pressure condensation reaction of aniline with methanol in the presence of sulfuric acid. With technological advancements, gas-phase catalytic methods and continuous production processes using solid acid catalysts have gradually replaced traditional batch-wise liquid-phase methods, improving production efficiency and product purity. Currently, China has made significant progress in the production technology of N,N-dimethylaniline, though continuous improvements in product quality and environmental standards are still ongoing.     Physical and Chemical Properties N,N-Dimethylaniline is a colorless to pale yellow transparent oily liquid at room temperature; it can oxidize and turn reddish-brown upon prolonged exposure or under light. Its melting point ranges from 1.5 to 2.5 °C, and its boiling point is 193.1 °C. The substance has a density of approximately 0.96 g/cm³, making it lighter than water. It is sparingly soluble in water (solubility approx. 1 g/L at 20 °C) but miscible with many organic solvents such as ethanol, diethyl ether, chloroform, and benzene. It exhibits weak basicity; the pH of a 10% aqueous solution is approximately 7.49.   N,N-Dimethylaniline displays typical aromatic amine properties. Due to the two methyl groups attached to the nitrogen atom, its basicity is stronger than that of aniline but weaker than that of aliphatic amines. It is readily oxidized and gradually darkens in color upon exposure to air or sunlight. As a nucleophile, it can undergo N-methylation or C-methylation reactions. Although its basicity is weak, making diazotization difficult, it can proceed under strongly acidic conditions; reaction with sodium nitrite in acidic media yields nitroso compounds, which turn emerald green under alkaline conditions. Furthermore, it serves as an excellent coupling component, reacting with diazonium salts to form azo dyes. It can also undergo substitution reactions such as halogenation, nitration, and sulfonation, typically occurring at the para position relative to the amino group.     Preparation Methods Industrially, N,N-dimethylaniline is primarily produced via the methylation of aniline. The most common method involves reacting aniline and methanol in the presence of a catalyst, such as sulfuric acid or solid acids (e.g., SO₄²⁻/ZrO₂). The reaction is typically carried out at high temperature and pressure, yielding a mixture of N-methylaniline and N,N-dimethylaniline, from which the high-purity product is obtained through distillation separation. Additionally, continuous methylation of methanol and aniline can be achieved using a fixed-bed reactor with a copper-zinc-based catalyst, a method characterized by high conversion rates and good selectivity.   Application Areas Dye IndustryN,N-Dimethylaniline is a vital intermediate in the dye industry. It is widely used to synthesize triphenylmethane basic dyes such as Basic Green, Victoria Blue, Basic Yellow, and Basic Violet 5BN. These dyes are extensively used for dyeing cotton, linen, and viscose fibers, as well as for coloring paper and leather. It is also used in the synthesis of azo dyes and indicators like Methyl Orange. In the fragrance industry, it is an important raw material for producing vanillin and other aroma compounds.   Pharmaceutical IndustryIn the pharmaceutical field, N,N-dimethylaniline is used to synthesize various drugs. It is a key raw material for the synthesis of the antibiotic cephalosporin V. Additionally, it is used in the synthesis of sulfonamide drugs, such as sulfadoxine and sulfadimethoxine. Beyond the mentioned drugs, it is also used in the synthesis of other pharmaceuticals like flucytosine.   Materials and Other ApplicationsIn the pesticide sector, N,N-dimethylaniline is used to synthesize key intermediates for sulfonylurea herbicides. In the rubber industry, it serves as a vulcanization accelerator, helping to improve vulcanization speed and rubber properties. In the materials industry, it can be used as a curing accelerator for epoxy resins and unsaturated polyester resins, as well as a catalyst for polyurethane foam.     Safety Information Toxicological DataN,N-Dimethylaniline is highly toxic, with toxicity similar to but slightly weaker than that of aniline. The oral LD₅₀ in rats is 1410 mg/kg, and the dermal LD₅₀ in rabbits is 1770 mg/kg. Inhalation of its vapor or absorption through the skin can cause poisoning. Its primary targets are the blood and nervous systems, leading to methemoglobinemia, which manifests as cyanosis (bluish discoloration of skin and mucous membranes), headache, dizziness, nausea, and other symptoms. In 2017, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) of the World Health Organization classified it as Group 3 carcinogen, indicating inadequate evidence for carcinogenicity in humans but sufficient evidence in experimental animals.   First Aid and ProtectionUpon skin contact with N,N-dimethylaniline, immediately remove contaminated clothing and wash the skin thoroughly with soap and water. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of flowing water or saline for several minutes, lifting the eyelids occasionally. If inhaled, move the affected person to fresh air immediately, keep the airway open, and administer oxygen if breathing is difficult. If swallowed, rinse the mouth, drink plenty of warm water, induce vomiting, perform gastric lavage, administer activated charcoal, and seek immediate medical attention. During handling, wear self-priming filter-type respirators (half-face masks), chemical safety goggles, impervious work clothing, and rubber oil-resistant gloves. Maintain adequate ventilation in the workplace and keep equipment closed.   Environmental HazardsN,N-Dimethylaniline is toxic to aquatic life and may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. Its vapor can form explosive mixtures with air and is highly flammable upon exposure to open flames or high heat. Therefore, its release into the environment must be strictly controlled. In case of a spill, absorb the material with sand or inert material and dispose of it in a harmless manner.

    Synthesis, Applications, and Derivatives of m-Xylylenediamine
    Jun 25, 2026
    Yolatech's m-Xylylenediamine (MXDA, CAS No.: 1477-55-0), also known as 1,3-benzenedimethanamine, is an epoxy resin curing agent belonging to the class of aliphatic amines containing a benzene ring. It has the molecular formula C8H12N2 and appears as a colorless liquid at room temperature.   As an epoxy resin curing agent, it combines the characteristics of both aliphatic and aromatic amines. It features low viscosity and can cure at room temperature. The benzene ring in its molecular structure endows the cured product with superior heat resistance, water resistance, acid and alkali resistance, and chemical resistance compared to ethylene amines. Consequently, it is widely used in casting, bonding, and anti-corrosion coatings. It also serves as a raw material for producing photosensitive plastics, rubber auxiliaries, polyurethane resins, and coatings, as well as an intermediate in organic synthesis.   1. m-Xylylenediamine and its Derivatives  (1)MXDA → Hydrogenation → 1,3-BAC Features: Low viscosity Low freezing point Good gloss (2)MXDA + ECH → G-328 Features: Good chemical resistance Good adhesion Good low-temperature properties Low CO₂ absorption (3)MXDA → Deamination → PMDA Features: Good electrical properties Low toxicity High and low temperature resistance (4)Modified G-328 Produced by reacting with condensed glycerol ester mixtures Features: Good metal adhesion (5)MXDA + Styrene → Gaskamine 240 Features: Long operating time (long pot life) Stable color Low CO₂ absorption     2. Synthesis of m-Xylylenediamine (Yolatech MXDA) (1) Preparation of Isophthalonitrile Isophthalonitrile is prepared by the ammoxidation of m-xylene with ammonia and air in a fluidized bed catalytic reactor. The catalyst used is V2O5-Cr2O3-SiO2, and the reactor bed temperature is maintained at 400–415℃. The generated isophthalonitrile is collected via thin-walled condensation, then washed with water, dehydrated by centrifugation, and dried to obtain the final product. The consumption per ton of isophthalonitrile is 1200 kg of m-xylene (90%), 1200 kg of liquid ammonia (99%), and 3 kg of catalyst.   (2) Preparation of m-Xylylenediamine Isophthalonitrile, alcohol, and potassium hydroxide are mixed and dissolved, then added to a high-pressure autoclave, followed by the addition of a Raney nickel catalyst paste. The relevant valves are closed, and the air inside the autoclave is evacuated. The vessel is purged with nitrogen several times until all air is removed. After evacuating the nitrogen, hydrogen is pressurized into the autoclave. Under stirring, the temperature is raised to about 90℃, and the hydrogen pressure is regulated and maintained at 4.5 MPa. Under these reaction conditions, hydrogen is continuously supplied until absorption ceases. The mixture is then cooled, excess pressure is released, and the material is discharged and filtered to recover the catalyst. The filtrate is sent to a fractional distillation unit. The alcohol is first distilled off at atmospheric pressure, followed by vacuum distillation. The fraction collected at 143–147℃ under 1.867 kPa is the finished product.     3. Application Fields of Yolatech MXDA (1) Epoxy Resin Curing Agent: Accounts for 75% of total consumption, used in anti-corrosion coatings, adhesives, and other fields due to its excellent room-temperature curing performance and low toxicity. (2) Nylon MXD6: Used as a polymerization monomer to prepare high-performance engineering plastics. It is applied in automotive lightweighting (e.g., Tesla engine components), robot joints, food packaging, and other fields. The global MXD6 market size is expected to exceed $1 billion by 2025. (3) Pharmaceutical Intermediate: Used in the synthesis of anti-tumor drugs and antibacterial agents, accounting for about 10% of the market.

As a fundamental amine product, MXDA is widely used in epoxy resin curing agents. Its characteristics as an epoxy curing agent are as follows: the aliphatic primary amine group in its molecular structure allows it to be used as a room-temperature curing agent. Meanwhile, the benzene ring in the structure gives the cured product better heat resistance than aliphatic polyamines, along with excellent chemical resistance, while its irritation and toxicity are lower than those of ethylene amines. Typical Physical and Chemical Data of MXDA (For Reference Only): Property Item Specification / Value Model MXDA Product Name m-Xylylenediamine Appearance Colorless transparent liquid Color (Gardner) 1.0 Max. Density 1.048 ~ 1.056 Viscosity (cps/20℃) 6.8 Freezing Point (℃) 14.1 Active Hydrogen Equivalent 34 The dosage of MXDA for Bisphenol A epoxy resin YLE-128 (epoxy equivalent 185) is approximately 16%-18%. The pot life is about 50 minutes at room temperature for 100g of epoxy resin YLE-128, and complete curing at room temperature takes about 7 days.

    1,3-BAC——Alicyclic diamine compounds used for epoxy resins and polyurethanes
    Jun 18, 2026
    Product Information Chemical Name:1,3-Cyclohexanedi(methylamine Alias/Abbreviation/Short Name/Old Name: 1,3-BAC, HXDA, 1,3-Bis(aminoethyl)cyclohexane Application fields: epoxy resin, polyurethane, polyamide   1,3-BAC is an important alicyclic diamine organic compound. At room temperature, it appears as a colorless, transparent, low-viscosity liquid with a distinct ammonia odor. It is corrosive, flammable when exposed to open flames, and has a pungent smell. Soluble in water, Ethanol, etherand various organic solvents.   Due to the characteristics of the product structure, 1,3-BAC having excellent yellowing resistance, low viscosity, rapid curing speed, and excellent chemical corrosion resistance, it is widely used in the formulation of epoxy resin curing agents, the synthesis of polyurethane isocyanates, and the preparation of specialty polyamides.Compared to other curing agent raw materials, this product features rapid curing speed, requires a lower addition amount, and exhibits outstanding resistance to yellowing. Its low solidification point ensures excellent curing performance even in low-temperature and humid environments.   With the decline in the cost of m-phenylenediamine raw materials and the increasing stringency of environmental regulations, 1,3-cyclohexanediamine is gradually emerging as an important alternative to traditional aromatic amines.   Physical Properties Structural formula: Molecular weight: 142.2 Chemical formula: C8H18N2 CAS NO.: 2579-20-6 EINECS NO.r:219-941-5Appearance(25℃): Colorless, transparent liquidColor (APHA): 20 Max Viscosity (mPa·s/20℃): 9.1 Density(g/cm³,25℃): 0.940~0.950 Purity (%): ≥99.0 Active Hydrogen Equivalent (g/eq): 35.5 Melting Point (℃): < -70 Boiling Point (℃): 220 Flash Point (℃): 113 Structural Features The 1,3-cyclohexanediamine molecule contains two primary amine groups, which are chemically highly reactive and can undergo reactions with acids, epoxy groups, isocyanate groups, and other functional groups. Due to the presence of the cyclohexane ring, 1,3-cyclohexanediamine exists in two isomeric forms: cis and trans. Industrial products typically consist of a mixture of these two isomers. The trans isomer is thermodynamically more stable, favoring the formation of polymers with high crystallinity and excellent thermal resistance; whereas the cis isomer promotes the formation of an amorphous structure, enhancing the material's transparency. By adjusting the cis-trans ratio during the synthesis process, it is possible to tailor the final properties of the material.   13-BAC Features: Cures quickly at room temperature; Excellent weather resistance; Low viscosity, easy to handle; Clear and transparent, with a well-defined appearance of the cured material; The cured material exhibits excellent mechanical properties.   Preparation method At present, the industrial production of 1,3-cyclohexanedimethanamine is primarily achieved through the catalytic hydrogenation of m-xylylenediamine (MXDA). This process typically uses m-phenylenediamine as the feed stock and is carried out under high temperature and pressure conditions in the presence of a solvent (such as water or alcohols) and a supported noble-metal catalyst (e.g., ruthenium, palladium, or rhodium). The benzene ring is saturated to form a cyclohexane ring through hydrogenation. During the reaction, by carefully controlling the type of catalyst, reaction temperature, pressure, and reaction time, the ratio of cis and trans isomers in the product can be adjusted. After the reaction, the crude product is separated from the catalyst and then purified by distillation to yield high-purity 1,3-cyclohexanediamine..   Application fields Epoxy resin curing agent 13-BAC is primarily used as an epoxy curing agent or for the preparation of modified epoxy curing agents. Compared to aromatic amine curing agents, it not only has lower viscosity and better handling properties but also yields cured products with outstanding resistance to ultraviolet light (anti-yellowing), as well as excellent weather resistance, temperature resistance, water resistance, and chemical resistance. Moreover, it cures rapidly and can be used for curing at either room temperature or low temperatures. It is widely applied in high-end outdoor floor coatings, stone adhesives, electronic potting compounds, composite materials (such as automotive parts and wind turbine blades), and in the fields of jewelry adhesives and crystal adhesives where appearance and color quality are of paramount importance.   Make an epoxy curing agent Mixing ratio:Epoxy resin YLE-128 (epoxy equivalent weight 190): 100Hardener 1.3-BAC dosage: 17–20 Initial formula (mass ratio) Epoxy resin YLE-128 EEW 100g 190 Hardener 1.3-BAC Active hydrogen quivalent 19g 35.6 @23 ℃, 50% curing performanceTouch-drySemi-dryCompletely dry@5℃, 80% curing performanceTouch-drySemi-dryCompletely dry 1.45h4.5h>24h13.5h>24h>24h   Note: 1.

Since the formulation and process conditions of end products may vary, we recommend testing the product performance and applicability described above to confirm whether they can achieve your intended results.   As an epoxy curing agent, 1,3-BAC can be used in CFRP. Compared to traditional RTM processes, the high-cycle RTM process (such as HP-RTM) requires shorter cycle times for resin injection, curing, and demolding, and does not require post-curing.   1,3-BAC having a low viscosity ensures more thorough fiber impregnation and extends the working time. Compared to other amine-based curing agents, It can significantly shorten the curing time and eliminates the need for post-curing, thereby enhancing the efficiency of the RTM process. Meanwhile, the cured product exhibits a higher glass transition temperature (Tg). This makes it suitable for mass production of large CFRP components.   Polyurethane raw materials 13-Cyclohexyl dimethylamine is a key raw material for the synthesis of alicyclic isocyanate—hexamethylene diisocyanate (H6XDI). H6XDI does not contain a benzene ring structure and boasts excellent light stability and hydrolysis resistance. It is an important raw material for preparing high-end polyurethane coatings, elastomers, and adhesives, and is particularly well-suited for applications with extremely high requirements for aging resistance, such as automotive paints and outdoor facilities..   Polyamide monomer As a hydrogenated derivative monomer of MXD6 (m-xylylene diamine-adipic acid nylon), 1,3-cyclohexanediamine can be used to synthesize novel cycloaliphatic polyamides. These materials combine the excellent barrier properties and thermal stability of aromatic nylons with the hydrolysis resistance and flexibility of cycloaliphatic materials, making them promising candidates for applications in areas such as food packaging and automotive fuel lines..   Packaging & warehousing & transportation Net weight: 190 kg per drum; packaged in iron drums.

    May 14, 2026
    Yolatech Company DMP-30 Equivalent Grades: K54, KH-30, HI-54K, HY960.   Yolatech DMP-30 consists of 2,4,6-Tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol. It is a versatile curing accelerator designed to shorten the curing time of epoxy resin systems. It exhibits excellent compatibility with Polyamine and Polyamide series epoxy curing agents. It is soluble in alcohol, benzene, acetone, and cold water, and slightly soluble in hot water.   Physical Properties Chemical Name: 2,4,6-Tris(dimethylaminomethyl)phenol Synonyms: DMP-30 / K-54 / Accelerator Catalyst HI-54K Molecular Formula: C₁₅H₂₇N₃O Molecular Weight: 265.4 CAS Number: 90-72-2 EINECS Number: 202-013-9 Appearance: Transparent light yellow liquid Color: Max 6 (Gardner) Amine Value: 580-630 mgKOH/g Viscosity (25°C): 100-300 cps (Brookfield) Moisture Content: Max 0.5% Refractive Index (20°C): 1.5150-1.5200 Specific Gravity (25°C): 0.97-0.99 Flash Point: 150°C     Applications DMP-30 serves as a curing accelerator in solvent-based or solvent-free epoxy systems, including: Polyamine series curing systems. Polyamide and Amidoamine series epoxy curing systems. Mercaptan (Thiol) series epoxy curing systems. Carboxylic Acid Anhydride or Polysulfide series epoxy curing systems. It is widely used in coatings, adhesives, and flooring industries. It acts as a catalyst for epoxy automotive body adhesives, epoxy-anhydride systems, and as a solid catalyst for isocyanates and polyols.     Mechanism of Action The reaction between epoxy resin (containing epoxy groups) and amine curing agents (such as aliphatic amines and polyamides) is a nucleophilic ring-opening reaction: the amine group (-NH₂) attacks the ring of the epoxy group, opening the ring to form hydroxyl groups (-OH), which then undergo further crosslinking.However, this reaction is slow at room temperature (especially in low-temperature environments). DMP-30's phenolic hydroxyl group activates the epoxy group via hydrogen bonding, while the dimethylamino group (-N(CH₃)₂) acts as a nucleophile to promote the combination of the amine and epoxy groups. This significantly lowers the activation energy, shortening the curing time by 30%-50% (e.g., at 25°C, curing takes 24 hours without accelerator, but only 8-12 hours with DMP-30).   Recommended Dosage 1. As Epoxy Curing Agent: When used alone, the dosage for YLE-128 epoxy resin (Epoxy Equivalent Weight 185-195) is approximately 10%. It enables rapid curing at room temperature or low temperatures for coatings, castings, and sealants. For YLE-220 epoxy resin, the dosage is approximately 12.5%. For Epoxy-Liquid Polysulfide systems, the dosage is 10-15% for room temperature curing and 6% for heat curing. It imparts unique bonding, casting, and sealing properties. Typical range: 5-15 PHR. 2. As Epoxy Accelerator: When mixed with other epoxy curing agents, it acts as an accelerator to increase curing rates. Dosage is 0.1%-3% PHR of the main curing agent. Widely used in anti-corrosion coatings, cast floor concrete protection, and adhesives. 3. As Polyurethane Catalyst: It is a catalyst for isocyanate trimerization. It has higher catalytic selectivity for Polyisocyanurate (PIR) reactions compared to PUR, making it suitable for PIR formulations. DMP-30 is a milder activity catalyst; it requires a larger dosage in formulations, resulting in a gentle reaction, stable rise, good flowability, and end products with PIR high-temperature and flame-retardant effects.     Advantages Highly efficient acceleration (strong low-temperature applicability). Improves coating film hardness and chemical resistance. Good compatibility with most epoxy resins and curing agents (no phase separation).     Limitations May experience slight yellowing upon long-term UV exposure (due to phenolic hydroxyl oxidation), making it unsuitable for outdoor high-gloss flooring. Irritating to skin; potential for trace formaldehyde release. Protective equipment must be worn during application.     Storage & Handling Avoid excessive heat and humidity. Store in unopened original containers at room temperature, away from fire sources, strong acids, strong bases, and strong oxidizing agents. Shelf life is 12 months from the date of production. Precautions: Please refer to the Yolatech Product DMP-30 Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). Packaging: 200Kg drum, 1000 IBC.
