Product Description

Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,*-triazine skeleton. Like cyanamide, it contains *6% nitrogen by mass and, if mixed with resins, has fire retardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned or charred, and has several other industrial uses. Melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine.
