Description
Adipic acid dihydrazide (ADH, CAS 1071-93-8) is a bifunctional hydrazide compound available under trade names including BT 1000Z and Qualimer ADH. It belongs to the monomers and building blocks category and carries no assigned E-code. Its two terminal hydrazide groups make it chemically reactive toward carbonyl-containing substrates.
In waterborne coatings and adhesives, ADH reacts with ketone or aldehyde functional groups on acrylic emulsions to form covalent hydrazone crosslinks at ambient temperature, improving film hardness and water resistance. In polymer systems, it also functions as a latent curing agent for epoxy resins, activating at elevated temperatures to deliver controlled cure profiles.
ADH is supplied as a crystalline powder and is subject to REACH registration within the EU. It is classified under HS code 29280090 for customs purposes. Procurement teams should confirm grade specifications and packaging formats directly, as offerings vary by supplier and intended application sector.
