2-Methylpentamethylenediamine is an organic compound part of the amine family with the formula H2NCH2CH2CH2CH(CH3)CCH2NCH2. A colorless liquid, this diamine is obtained by the hydrogenation of 2-methylglutaronitrile.[1]

Uses[]

2-Methylpentamethylenediamine serves as a curing agent. It gives good adhesion for metals and resistance against corrosion and other chemicals. It provides toughness, low blush, uniform finish, high gloss, and improves UV stability. It reduces gel time and is compatible with epoxy resins. It is suitable for marine, industrial, and decorative coatings.[2]

2-Methylpentamethylenediamine can also be used as a chain extender for polyurethane applications. Its derivatives like aspartic esters, secondary amines, aldimines and ketoimines serve as curatives in systems of polyurea. In polyamides, 2-Methylpentamethylenediamine acts as a crystallinity disruptor. This makes polymers amorphous in structure and slows down crystallization. It lowers melting point, improves surface appearance, increases abrasion resistance, and dye uptake. It also reduces water absorption, gelling, melt and quench temperatures.[3]

In summary, its uses are:[4]

  • Corrosion inhibitor
  • Polyamide adhesive and ink resins.
  • Polyamide films, plastics, and fibers
  • Epoxy curing agents
  • Metalworking Fluids
  • Chain extenders
  • Water treatment chemicals
  • Isocyanates

Hazards[]

Even though 2-Methylpentamethylenediamine has many uses, it also has many hazards. It can cause burns, is corrosive to skin, harmful when swallowed, and it can cause pulmonary edema and acute pneumonitis when inhaled in high concentrations.[5]
