Description
Melamine is an organic compound with the chemical formula C3H6N6. This solid is white and is in the form of 1, 3, 5 triazines. Melamine, similar to cyanamide, contains 67% by mass of nitrogen, its derivatives have the property of inhibiting fire due to the release of nitrogen gas during burning or cooling. Due to its properties, Melamine can be used in various applications, such as rubber, wood, leather, textile and concrete are among the main industrial uses of melamine.
Applications
Melamine is mostly used as formaldehyde in various industries. The most important industries that use formaldehyde Melamine are rubber industry, molding industry, textile and carpet weaving industry, paint and coating industry, paper industry, coating and decoration industry, cement and concrete industry, adhesives, extinguishers. In the wood industry, Melamine is used to create a transparent and heat-resistant coating. In the paint industry, this chemical compound is also used to produce amine colors. In the leather industry, this combination is used to produce transparent, waterproof and durable leathers. It is also used to produce fire-fighting and fire-resistant materials, and special materials such as various extinguishers are produced using Melamine. In the concrete industry, one of the most important issues is to increase the pumping properties of concrete without the need to increase water. Melamine can well do such a process in the concrete industry.
