Usage

General Description

1,1'-methylenebis[2,4-dichlorobenzene] is a chemical compound commonly known as p,p'-methylenedianiline (MDA). It is a colorless solid that is insoluble in water and has a slightly sweet odor. MDA is primarily used as a curing agent in the production of polyurethane foam, and it is also utilized in the manufacturing of epoxy resins and certain plastics. However, exposure to MDA has been linked to various health concerns, including skin and eye irritation, respiratory issues, and potential carcinogenic effects. Therefore, it is important to handle and use MDA with caution and adhere to all safety guidelines and regulations when working with this chemical.
