Background
4-Phenylenediamine base (PPD) is the primary intermediate in permanent hair dyes and fur dyes. It is an organic compound, a derivative of aniline. It is used as a component of engineering polymers and composites, and an ingredient in hair dyes. 4-Phenylenediamine is a precursor to aramid plastics and fibers such as Kevlar and Twaron. 4-Phenylenediamine is a common hair dye. The nearly colourless dye precursor oxidizes to the dye. Also other aniline analogues and derivatives are used such as 2,5-diaminohydroxyethylbenzene, 2,5-diaminotoluene, tetraaminopyrimidine, indoanilines and indophenols. 4-Phenylenediamine is easily oxidized, and for this reason derivatives of PPD are used as antiozonants in production of rubber products. A derivative called CD-4 is used as a developing agent in color photographic film development. PPD is also used as a Henna surrogate for temporary tattoos.
