DYTEK® A Amine (2-Methylpentamethylenediamine) CAS#15520-10-2

DYTEK® A amine is a colorless, low-viscosity liquid with a very low freezing point, low vapor pressure, and an "amine-like" odor. Structurally, it is a methyl-branched, 5-carbon chain diamine.

The structure of DYTEK® A amine provides its derivatives with unique properties such as lower viscosity, greater flexibility, and better compatibility.

With diacids, DYTEK® A amine forms high molecular weight polyamide polymers and copolymers, which exhibit lower melting points and less crystallinity than polymers made with hexamethylenediamine.  Many DYTEK® A amine resins are transparent.

DYTEK® A amine can improve flexibility and lengthen open times of polyamide hot-melt adhesives.  Epoxy curing agents produced from DYTEK® A amine have low adduct viscosities and can be used to incorporate flexibility into resin formulations.
