Ethylenediamine (EDA) is an organic compound used in the production of a variety of chemicals. It is a colorless, hygroscopic liquid with a strong ammonia-like odor. It is used as a precursor to many polymers, such as polyamides, polyurethanes, and polyimides. It is also used as a chelating agent, a corrosion inhibitor, and a surfactant. In addition, it is used in the production of pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, and dyes. EDA is produced by the reaction of ethylene oxide with ammonia. It is widely available in both liquid and solid forms. The global demand for EDA is driven by the increasing demand for polymers and other chemicals. Some of the major companies in the EDA market include BASF, Dow Chemical, Huntsman Corporation, Mitsubishi Chemical, and Sumitomo Chemical. Show Less Read more
