Melamine is a versatile compound that is used in a wide range of industries.
1. Melamine CAS 108-78-1 is mainly used to produce melamine-formaldehyde resins, which are widely used in the manufacture of laminates, adhesives and coatings. These resins are known for their durability, heat resistance and water resistance.
2. Melamine is used to produce melamine plastics, which have a variety of uses, including tableware, kitchen utensils and decorative surfaces.
3. Melamine CAS 108-78-1 can be used as a nitrogen-rich fertilizer in agriculture, although this is less common than its use in resins and plastics.
4. Melamine is sometimes used as a flame retardant for various materials, including textiles and plastics, because it can form a char layer that helps inhibit combustion.
5. Used in formulations of coatings and paints to improve hardness and chemical resistance.
6. In some cases, melamine CAS 108-78-1 has been used as a nitrogen source in animal feed, although this practice has raised health concerns and regulatory scrutiny due to its potential toxicity.
7. Melamine is also used in various industrial applications, including the production of certain types of foams and as an ingredient in certain cleaning products.
Packed in 25 kg per drum or based on customers' requirements.
To store melamine CAS 108-78-1 safely and effectively.
1. Use airtight containers made of suitable materials, such as high-density polyethylene or glass. Make sure the container is clearly labeled with the name of the chemical and any relevant hazard information.
2. Store melamine in a cool, dry, well-ventilated place away from direct sunlight, heat and moisture.
3. Keep storage temperature within the recommended range, typically 15°C to 30°C (59°F to 86°F). Avoid exposure to extreme temperatures.
4. Keep melamine CAS 108-78-1 away from incompatible substances, such as strong oxidants and acids. Melamine should also be stored away from food and drinks.
5. Melamine use secondary controls, such as spill trays, to control any potential spills or leaks.
6. Access to storage areas is restricted to trained personnel only. Ensure appropriate safety equipment (e.g. fire extinguishers and spill kits) is available.
7. Regularly inspect storage areas and containers for signs of leaks, damage or deterioration.
