---|---|---|
Melamine is mainly used as a starting material for the production of melamine resins, which are used as glue and impregnating resins. Glue resins are used, among other things, for the production of particleboard. As an impregnating resin, melamine resin is used for impregnating and bonding decorative papers to substrates such as particleboard. The resulting surface is characterized by good moisture resistance and high scratch resistance. In addition, melamine is used as a flame retardant additive in paints and coatings |
Description | ||
---|---|---|
Melamine is an organic compound with the formula C3H6N6. This white solid is a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton. Like cyanamide, it contains 67% nitrogen by mass, and its derivatives have fire retardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned or charred. Melamine can be combined with formaldehyde and other agents to produce melamine resins. |
