Melamine, also known as melamine or protein extract, is a remarkable triazine nitro-containing heterocyclic organic compound that serves as an essential chemical raw material. With the molecular formula C3H6N6, it is scientifically recognized by the IUPAC as 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine. Renowned for its versatility and high-quality properties, melamine is an indispensable component across various industrial applications, making it a sought-after choice for premium materials worldwide.
Physical property
Non-combustible and stable at room temperature. The aqueous solution is weakly alkaline (pH=8), and can form melamine salt with , acetic acid, oxalic acid, etc. In the neutral or slightly alkaline case, it is condensed with formaldehyde to form a variety of hydroxymethyl melamine, but in the slightly acidic case (pH=5.5 ~ 6.5) and the derivative of hydroxymethyl polycondensation reaction to produce resin. In case of hydrolysis of strong acid or strong base aqueous solution, the amine group is gradually replaced by the hydroxyl group, which becomes a cyanuric acid diamide, further hydrolysis to cyanuric acid monoamide, and finally cyanuric acid.
Melamine is an important nitrogen heterocyclic organic chemical raw material, mainly used as the main raw material of melamine formaldehyde resin (MF), organic element analysis reagent, also used in the synthesis of organic and resin for leather processing tanning agent and filler, but also used in wood, plastic, paint, paper, textile, leather, electrical, medicine and other industries. It can also be used as flame retardant, formaldehyde cleaning agent, chemical fertilizer and so on.
Melamine is the most commonly used gas source of intumescent flame retardants, and is also the raw material for the preparation of many intumescent flame retardants (such as a variety of phosphates, cyanates, phosphates), and is often combined with other flame retardants for flame retarding a variety of plastics and other polymers, such as organic phosphate esters to flame retardant polyurethane foam.
