🌍 Melamine cyanurate — High-Purity Industrial Solvent & Chemical Intermediate
English Name: Melamine cyanurate
Chinese Name: 氰尿酸三聚氰胺
Molecular Formula: C6H9N9O3
Molecular Weight: 255.2
CAS Number: 37640-57-6
💧 Product Overview
Melamine Cyanurate (MCA) is a highly efficient, halogen-free flame retardant known for its excellent performance in various engineering plastics and polymers. It is a salt complex formed from melamine and cyanuric acid, creating a dense, white crystalline powder.
-
Chemical Name: Melamine Cyanurate
-
CAS No.: 37640-57-6
-
Molecular Formula: C₆H₉N₉O₃
-
Appearance: White, fine, free-flowing powder
-
Key Characteristic: A premium non-halogen flame retardant that primarily acts through endothermic cooling and dilution of flammable gases.
⚙️ Key Applications
-
Polymers and Plastics: It is particularly effective in polyamide (PA) resins like PA6 and PA66, where it can help the material achieve a UL94 V-0 flame retardancy rating. It is also applied in epoxy resins, phenolic resins, acrylic emulsions, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), and other olefin polymers to impart flame-retardant properties.
-
Rubber Products: Used as a flame retardant additive in rubber formulations.
-
Lubricants: Functions as an excellent solid lubricant in oils, greases, and pastes. Its lubricating performance is noted to be superior to molybdenum disulfide in certain applications and is more cost-effective.
-
Coatings and Cosmetics: Added to fire-retardant coatings as a flame-retardant and matting agent, and used in cosmetics for its lubricating properties.
🧪 Technical Advantages
-
COREYCHEM’s Melamine Cyanurate offers distinct performance benefits that make it a preferred choice for high-demand applications:
-
High Efficiency in Polyamides: Exceptionally effective in unfilled and reinforced Polyamide 6 (PA6) and Polyamide 66 (PA66), enabling them to achieve a UL94 V-0 rating at low loading levels.
-
Excellent Thermal Stability: Exhibits remarkable stability during high-temperature processing (up to ~300°C), preventing decomposition and discoloration.
-
Good Mechanical Balance: Offers a favorable balance between flame retardancy and the retention of key mechanical properties in the final polymer compound.
-
Dual Functionality: Acts not only as a flame retardant but also as a lubricant, improving processing flow in certain polymers.
-
