Diamine composition, and method of preparing diisocyanate composition
The diamine composition according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a benzylmonoamine having a methyl group in an amount of 10 ppm to 2,000 ppm in the composition. When it is used for the preparation of a diisocyanate composition and an optical material, it is possible to improve the optical characteristics by preventing the occurrence of yellowing, striae, and cloudiness in the optical material and enhancing the mechanical properties such as impact resistance at the same time. Thus, the diisocyanate composition can be applied to the preparation of a plastic optical lens of high quality.
1 . A process for preparing a diisocyanate composition, which comprises:
reacting a diamine composition with an aqueous hydrochloric acid solution to obtain a diamine hydrochloride composition; and
