Bis(4-amino-3-methylcyclohexyl)methane(CAT: L011074) is a cycloaliphatic diamine featuring two methyl-substituted cyclohexyl rings connected by a methylene bridge, each bearing a primary amine group. This compound is widely used as a curing agent in epoxy resin systems, offering excellent thermal stability, chemical resistance, and mechanical strength. Its non-aromatic, bulky structure enhances toughness and flexibility in cured networks while reducing moisture sensitivity. It is especially valuable in high-performance coatings, adhesives, composites, and electrical insulation materials. Additionally, the sterically hindered amine groups contribute to controlled reactivity, making it suitable for advanced polymer formulations and industrial applications requiring durable, weather-resistant, and low-yellowing properties.
