CAS 108-78-1 Melamine (C₃H₆N₆) is a nitrogen-rich organic compound, appearing as a white, crystalline powder. Produced from urea through a high-temperature reaction, it's a key building block for resins and plastics due to its ability to form strong, heat-resistant bonds. Melamine is most commonly used in combination with formaldehyde to create melamine resins, which are valued for their durability and versatility.

What is melamine (cas 108-78-1) most commonly used for?
Melamine powder compounds that form synthetic resins with formaldehyde.
Melamine powder is used in the manufacture of high-pressure laminate resins (for example, decorative countertops), molding compounds (for example, tableware), and surface coating resins (for example, home appliance finishes and automotive finishes). Other main products are textile and paper processing resins.
Other applications include adhesive resins for bonding wood, plywood, and flooring, as well as resins for leather tanning agents.
Melamine, melamine cyanurate and other melamine salts, as well as guanidine compounds, are currently the most widely used flame retardants containing nitrogen.
It is used as a flame retardant additive in polypropylene and polyethylene.
Advantages of melamine Raw Materials
- Durability: Stronger than ceramic and glass.
- Affordable: Cheaper than porcelain and stainless steel.
- Lightweight: Very light, ideal for outdoors.
- Heat Resistance: Can withstand hot drinks and short periods of heat.
- Variety of Designs: Many colours and patterns.
