Cycloaliphatic Diamine 3-Aminomethyl-3,5,5-Trimethylcyclohexylamine IPD IPDA

IPDA epoxy curing agent, cycloaliphatic diamine hardener, 3-aminomethyl trimethylcyclohexylamine IPD

VESTAMIN IPD is a cycloaliphatic diamine, based on isophorone chemistry. It is a mixture of two stereo-isomers of 3-aminomethyl-3,5,5- trimethylcyclohexylamine, and is a colorless low viscosity liquid with a faint amine odor.

VESTAMIN IPD is used to produce hardeners for solventless, room temperature curing epoxies and as a hardener in heat cured epoxies. Hardeners based on VESTAMIN IPD have low viscosity, low tendency to form carbamates, and humidity resistance. Epoxy systems cured with VESTAMIN IPD based hardeners exhibit excellent chemical resistance, high heat distortion temperatures, and color stability.

VESTAMIN IPD has large application in epoxy-based self-leveling and trowelable flooring systems, and various civil engineering applications such as paving, concrete protection and repair. Other applications include coatings for superior corrosion protection of metal, adhesives and anchoring compounds.

VESTAMIN IPD has many other uses based on amine chemistry, such as the production of non-crystalline specialty polyamides with high hardness and optical transparency. It also is used as a chain extender in polyurethanes and as an intermediate in dyes.

VESTAMIN IPD is slightly hygroscopic and tends to form carbamates by reaction with atmospheric CO₂. It should be stored free from moisture and carbon dioxide in glass, stainless steel and similar containers. Carbon steel is adequate under normal circumstances but the use of aluminum should be avoided.

VESTAMIN IPD is stable for at least one year when stored in original containers at temperatures below 25 °C. VESTAMIN IPD crystallizes below 15 °C. It is necessary to completely liquify the entire contents of the container by warming to a maximum of 60 °C and mix thoroughly before use.

Product may cause skin and eye irritation. In cases of skin contact wash immediately with soap and water. For eyes, flush with plenty of water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention immediately.
