HS Code:
Adipic dihydrazide (Hexanedihydrazide, CAS No. 1071-93-8) is an organic compound classified under HS Code 2928.00.50, which pertains to other organic derivatives of hydrazine or of hydroxylamine. It is primarily used as a crosslinking agent in water-based coatings, adhesives, and epoxy resins, as well as in the production of polymers and as a chemical intermediate in various industrial applications. Its demand is driven by the growth in industries such as automotive, construction, and textiles, where it contributes to enhancing material durability and performance.
