Hexamine, CAS No.: 100-97-0, is also known as hexamethylenetetramine in market parlance. It is a hetero-cyclic organic crystalline compound available in the form of a white crystalline powder, which is highly soluble in water and organic compounds. Industrially, hexamine is produced by the reaction between ammonia and formaldehyde. It is available in the two forms, namely un-stabilized (99%) and stabilized (95% to 98%). Each of these forms has a separate set of application areas; for instance, un-stabilized hexamine is used in coating and adhesive and sealant applications whereas stabilized hexamine is used as a chemical intermediate in the process industry. Hexamine finds use in a wide range of applications; for example, as as a curing agent for resins and plastics, a catalyst for aminoplasts and a foaming agent and a promoter for rubber vulcanization (accelerator H), an anti-shrinking agent for textiles, and for organic synthesis to produce chloramphenicol, among others. Moreover, hexamine is also used as a fuel tablet and in manufacturing of explosive materials in military and defense sectors.
