Description


Hexamethylenediamine’s primary use is for manufacturing unmodified resins, water treatment resins, resins used in paper manufacture and adhesive resins. Other applications include use as an intermediate to make polyamides with applications in fiber, plastics, polyurethane coatings and adhesives, specialty nylons (monofilaments and inks), and specialty chemicals (biocides, petroleum additives, and phenol purification). Hexamethylenediamine is solely an industrial product, not designed for consumer use. HMD is produced by the hydrogenation of adiponitrile.
