General description

4,4′-Methylenebis(2-methylcyclohexylamine) is an alicyclic diamine.

Application

4,4′-Methylenebis(2-methylcyclohexylamine) (MMCA) may be used:
  • in the synthesis of fully aliphatic polyimides
  • in the synthesis of fully aliphatic polyimide-siloxanes (APISiO)
  • to prepare epoxy resin with trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether, used for the characterization of the structural organization in dragline silk by transmission X-ray microscopy (STXM).

Repeated oral administration of an amine-curing agent for epoxy resin, bis(4-amino-3-methylcyclohexyl)methane, gave rise to severe damage in the choroid plexus of rat brain. The damaged epithelium presented varying degrees of swelling and hydropic vacuolation on light microscopy, and varying numbers

The presence of sclerosis-inducing glycosaminoglycan in the skin was confirmed in an experimental skin sclerosis induced by a chemical compound. An experimental skin sclerosis was first produced in the mouse with bis(4-amino-3-methylcyclohexyl)methane. Out of glycosaminoglycans isolated from the slightly changed
