This product is an organic compound with the formula C₆H₁₆N₂. The systematic name of this chemical is 1,6-Hexanediamine. It belongs to the product categories of Industrial/Fine Chemicals; alpha,omega-Alkanediamines; alpha,omega-Bifunctional Alkanes; Monofunctional & alpha,omega-Bifunctional Alkanes. Its EINECS number is 204-679-6. With the CAS registry number 124-09-4, it is also named as Hexamethylenediamine. In addition, the molecular weight is 116.20. Its classification code is Reproductive Effect. It is stable in air but combustible. Like all organic compounds, it is incompatible with strong oxidants. It should be sealed and stored in a ventilated and dry place. Moreover, it should be protected from heat, moisture and fire. Hexamethylenediamine is used almost exclusively for the production of polymers, an application that takes advantage of its bifunctional structure. The great majority of the diamine is consumed by the production of nylon 6-6 via condensation with adipic acid. Otherwise hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) is generated from this diamine as a monomer feedstock in the production of polyurethane. The diamine also serves as a cross-linking agent in epoxy resins.
