2921.59.30.00 - 4,4'-Methylenedianiline

This classification covers the specific aromatic polyamine known as 4,4'-Methylenedianiline, also referred to as bis(4-aminophenyl)methane or MDA. It is characterized by two aniline rings linked by a methylene bridge. This compound serves as a crucial intermediate in the production of polymers, particularly polyurethanes, and is also used in epoxy resins and as a curing agent. Its unique structure distinguishes it from other aromatic polyamines.

While this category falls under "Other" aromatic polyamines and their derivatives, its specific chemical identity as 4,4'-Methylenedianiline differentiates it from the listed sibling categories. For instance, sibling categories enumerate distinct compounds like 1,8-Diaminonaphthalene, various benzidine derivatives with sulfonic acid groups, or diamines with specific substitutions on the phenyl rings. The "Other" designation here signifies that 4,4'-Methylenedianiline is not explicitly named in any of the preceding sibling entries within the broader "Aromatic polyamines and their derivatives; salts thereof" group, but it is specifically captured under its own unique HTS code. As a leaf node in the HTS database, there are no further subdivisions within this specific classification.
