posted on 06/22/2009

High molecular weight polyamines with aromatic nitro groups with exceptional solvent resistance.

Suggested Uses

Coating on metal, solvent resistant adhesives, filter elements

Advantages

Insoluble in all common organic solvents
Dissolves in concentrated sulfuric, nitric, and perchloric acid only


Innovation Details
 

Detailed Description

Due to the presence of inter-chain hydrogen bonding between the secondary amine and the nitro groups, these polymer exhibit exceptional solvent resistance. They can be dissolved only in aqueous concentrated mineral acids with bulky counterions including sulfuric, nitric and perchloric. Melting points range from 100 to 150 deg C.

Limitations

Melting points range from 100 to 150 deg C.
