What Is Adipic Acid Dihydrazide?
Adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH), also known as adipic dihydrazide, is a hydrazide compound, along with sebacic acid dihydrazide and dodecanediohydrazide. It is a white powder or crystalline mass at room temperature, soluble in water, and known for its chemical stability under appropriate conditions.
Uses of Adipic Acid Dihydrazide
ADH is primarily used as a latent curing agent for epoxy resins in paints and adhesives, leveraging its high reactivity and low-temperature curing properties. It helps adjust the curing temperature and speed of epoxy resins and serves as a cross-linking agent for acrylic emulsions containing ketone groups, a type of thermoplastic resin.
