Product Description
Basic Information
- Chemical Name: 4,4'-Diaminodiphenylmethane
- Common Alias: Methylenedianiline (MDA)
- Molecular Formula: C13H14N2
- Molecular Weight: 198.27 g/mol
- CAS Number: 101-77-9
Physical and Chemical Properties
- Appearance:
- At room temperature: White to light yellow crystalline solid (may darken upon exposure to air).
- Pure form: Colorless crystals.
- Melting Point: 89-91°C
- Boiling Point: 398-401°C (at atmospheric pressure)
- Solubility:
- Slightly soluble in water (0.1 g/100 mL at 25°C).
- Soluble in organic solvents: ethanol, ether, benzene, acetone.
- Chemical Stability:
- Stable under normal conditions but susceptible to oxidation in air, leading to color darkening.
- Reacts with acids, acid chlorides, and anhydrides; forms salts with strong acids.
Applications
- Polymer Industry
- Epoxy Resins: Cures epoxy resins, forming high-strength, heat-resistant composites for coatings, adhesives, and electrical insulation.
- Polyurethanes: Precursor for MDI (4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate), a key component in polyurethane foams, elastomers, and plastics.
- Polyamides: Synthesizes polyamides (nylons) with improved mechanical properties.
- Chemical Intermediates
- Manufactures dyes, antioxidants, and agricultural chemicals (e.g., herbicides, fungicides).
- Precursor for Schiff bases and other nitrogen-containing organic compounds.
- Research and Development
- Used in laboratory syntheses and as a standard for analytical methods (e.g., HPLC, GC).
Safety and Toxicity
- Health Hazards:
- Carcinogenicity: Classified as a probable human carcinogen (Group 2B, IARC) due to links with bladder and lung cancers.
- Irritation: Causes skin and eye irritation; may trigger allergic dermatitis upon prolonged contact.
- Toxicity: Inhalation or ingestion can damage the respiratory system, liver, and kidneys.
- Environmental Risks:
- Persists in soil and water; toxic to aquatic life.
- Biodegradation is slow, requiring proper waste disposal (e.g., incineration under controlled conditions).
Storage and Handling
- Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, sealed in airtight containers to prevent oxidation.
- Avoid contact with moisture, strong acids, and oxidizing agents.
- Use personal protective equipment (PPE): gloves, goggles, and a respirator (N95 or higher) to prevent inhalation and skin exposure.
