Application

  • Limonene-based epoxy: Anhydride thermoset reaction study: This research explores the thermosetting reactions of limonene-based epoxy using hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride, illustrating its application in creating environmentally friendly polymers (Couture et al., 2018).
  • Metallocene catalysts for the ring-opening co-polymerisation of epoxides and cyclic anhydrides: Discusses the application of metallocene catalysts in ring-opening copolymerization involving hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride, relevant for developing new polymeric materials (Shaw et al., 2022).
  • Evaluation of Natural and Modified Castor Oil Incorporation on the Melt Processing and Physico-Chemical Properties of Polylactic Acid: Explores the use of natural oils modified with hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride to enhance the properties of polylactic acid, a study significant in biodegradable plastics (Darie-Niță et al., 2022).
  • Synthesis, characterization, and recycling of bio-derivable polyester covalently adaptable networks for industrial composite applications: Investigates the use of hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride in creating adaptable networks for industrial applications, enhancing the sustainability of materials (Wang et al., 2024).
  • Epoxidized linseed oils based networks. Case of thermal degradation: Discusses the thermal degradation of networks made from linseed oils cross-linked with hexahydro-4-methylphthalic anhydride, which is pivotal in understanding the stability and life span of bio-based polymers (Richaud et al., 2019).

Contact dermatitis, 32(4), 204-209 (1995-04-01)
Acid anhydrides are low-molecular-weight chemicals known to cause respiratory irritancy and allergy. Skin allergy has on rare occasions been reported. 2 workers contracted hives and itching on uncovered skin after 2 months exposure to methyltetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MTHPA) and methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride
C H Lindh et al.
International archives of occupational and environmental health, 70(2), 128-132 (1997-01-01)
To investigate whether methylhexahydrophthalic acid (MHHP acid) in urine and plasma can be used as a biomarker for exposure to methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride (MHHPA). MHHPA in air was sampled by Amberlite XAD-2 and analysed by gas chromatography (GC) with flame ionisation

Contact dermatitis, 36(1), 34-38 (1997-01-01)
Epoxy resin compounds (ERC) include a large number of chemicals, such as epoxy resins (ER), reactive diluents and hardeners. Many hardeners, e.g., aliphatic polyamines, are well-known sensitizers. Another type of ER hardeners are the phthalic anhydrides, such as methylhexahydrophthalic anhydride
