Description

1,3-Bis(Aminomethyl)Benzene is a high-purity aromatic diamine compound, also known as meta-xylylenediamine (MXDA). This versatile chemical intermediate is valued for its dual primary amine functionality and meta-substituted aromatic backbone, which provides excellent reactivity and thermal stability. It is essential for manufacturers in the polymer, epoxy resin, and specialty chemical sectors seeking to enhance product performance and durability.

Application

• Primary curing agent and hardener for epoxy resins, particularly in high-performance coatings, adhesives, and composites.
• Key monomer in the synthesis of polyamides, polyimides, and other high-temperature engineering plastics.
• Intermediate for pharmaceutical active ingredients and agrochemicals.
• Building block for corrosion inhibitors and metal surface treatment agents.
• Used in the production of gas separation membranes and ion-exchange resins.
• Cross-linking agent for specialty polymers requiring chemical resistance.

Quality Control

Our 1,3-Bis(Aminomethyl)Benzene is produced under a stringent quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including chromatography and titration methods, to ensure it meets the high-purity standards required for industrial and fine chemical synthesis. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles are provided with each shipment to guarantee traceability and compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); containers must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture and carbon dioxide, which can affect product quality.
