METHOD OF PRODUCING POLYHEXAMETHYLENE GUANIDINE HYDROCHLORIDE Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC C08G73/00 A61L2/16 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: method of producing a disinfectant involves first carrying out polycondensation of hexamethylenediamine and guanidine hydrochloride. Polycondensation starts with preparation of a reaction mass in form of a suspension of crystalline guanidine hydrochloride in molten hexamethylenediamine, taken in ratio of 1:(1-1.5). The suspension is obtained by gradually adding crystalline guanidine hydrochloride, preheated to temperature of 90-120°C, to molten hexamethylenediamine and then stirring. The reaction mass is then heated in steps: holding for 4 hours at 120°C, then for 8 hours at 160°C and then for 3 hours at 180°C. Temperature is then gradually raised to 210°C at a rate of 3-4°C/h. The reaction mass is then subjected to vacuum treatment and cooled.

EFFECT: method enables to reduce toxicity of the end product and obtain a polymer with the required molecular weight and sufficient purity without washing steps.
