Eastman™ DMCD is a cycloaliphatic diester with low melting capabilities for synthesizing polyesters, polyamides, alkyds, and plasticizers. Similar performance properties to CHDA, except the reaction with glycols is a transesterification where methanol rather than water evolves from the reaction.
Product Specifications
Appearance: Partially crystallized liquid Viscosity @ 20°C: 8 cP Flash point: 132°C (270°F) Boiling point @ 100 mm Hg: 176°C (349°F) Vapor pressure @ 170.8°C: 50 mm Hg Specific gravity @ 35°C/4°C: 1.102 CAS: 94-60-0
