Hazard information
Regulatory Information
Methanediamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl- is listed on the EPA's Chemical Data Reporting (CDR) system. Manufacturers and importers of Methanediamine, N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl- are required to report information about their production and use of this chemical to the EPA under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA). (40 eCFR Part 711)
Status: Active Update: 29-10-2014 https://echa.europa.eu/registration-dossier/-/registered-dossier/11331
Reactivity Profile
TETRAMETHYLMETHYLENEDIAMINE may react vigorously when exposed to oxidizing agents. Neutralizes acids in exothermic reactions to form salts plus water. May be incompatible with isocyanates, halogenated organics, peroxides, phenols (acidic), epoxides, anhydrides, and acid halides. Flammable gaseous hydrogen may be generated in combination with strong reducing agents, such as hydrides. Not easily ignited, but may burn when exposed to heat.
