Title Mutagenicity of epoxy resin hardeners
Bibliographic information 1982, Vol.24, No.5, p.498-503. Illus. 17 ref.
Abstract Using the Ames test, 8 of 9 aromatic amines used as epoxy resin hardeners exhibited mutagenicity. They were: 4,4'-methylenebis(2-chloroaniline); 1,4'-phenylenebis(4-aminophenyl) ether; 4,4'-diaminodiphenylmethane; 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether; 4-aminodiphenyl ether; 1,3-phenylenebis(4-aminophenyl) ether; 3,3'-dichloro-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether; 3,4,4'-triaminodiphenyl ether. Only 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl sulfone did not exhibit mutagenic activity.
