Hexamine

Hexamethylene Tetramine (Hexamine) is a white crystalline powder with a slight amine odor. Applications for Hexamine are the production of powdery or liquid preperations of phenolic resins and phenolic resin molding compounds, where hexamine 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 molding processes, and fireproof materials.

It is used in rubber and textile adhesives, in paints and lacquers, in the photographic industry, in the production of explosives such as RDX and Hexanite, as a corrosion inhibitor, as a protein modifier, as a reagent in chemical analysis, as a curing agent for phenolic resins used in proppants and in the production of deodorants and hair fixers, among many other uses.
