Thermo Scientific™ 1,6-Diaminohexane ≥98%

1,6-Diaminohexane, also known as hexamethylenediamine, is a bifunctional aliphatic diamine used as an intermediate in polymer synthesis, particularly for the production of nylon 6,6 via condensation with adipic acid. This compound is also used in resin chemistry, cross-linking reactions, and surface modification of polymers and nanomaterials.

Supplied at ≥98% purity, this product is a white to off-white crystalline solid with high reactivity and solubility in water and alcohols. It is classified as corrosive and irritant, and must be handled under appropriate safety conditions. It is packaged in glass bottles to ensure chemical stability and purity.
