Product Description
hexamine or urotropin, is a heterocyclic organic compound with the formula (CH2)6N4. This white crystalline compound is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It has a cage-like structure similar to adamantane. It is useful in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, e.g., plastics, pharmaceuticals, rubber additives. It sublimes in vacuum at 280 C.hexamine is also used as a food additive as a preservative (INS number 239). It is approved for usage for this purpose in the EU,[10] where it is listed under E number E239 dominantly it use in the production of powdery or liquid preparations of phenolic resins and phenolic resin moulding compounds, where it is added as a hardening component. These products are used as binders, e.g. in brake and clutch linings, abrasive products, non-woven textiles, formed parts produced by moulding processes, and fireproof materials.Versatile Solubility for Industrial NeedsHexamine Powder offers slight solubility in water and exceptional dissolving ability in ethanol and other organic solvents, making it ideal for applications in pharmaceuticals, chemical manufacturing, and laboratory experiments. Its versatile solubility profile allows for broad integration across processes and ensures straightforward handling for diverse industries.
Safe Handling and Storage RecommendationsAlthough Hexamine Powder is non-poisonous, it should be stored at room temperature and handled carefully due to its stimulus smell and neutral to mildly acidic pH. Proper storage not only preserves its chemical properties but also maintains workplace safety and integrity during transportation or warehousing in Russia.
