General Information
The chemical formula of C3H6N6 is a melanin trimmetric cyanamide and is synthesized in 1834 by the German chemist Liebig. It is a non-toxic chemical at low doses. In infants, the dose was determined as 0.5 mg / kg body.
Production and Reactions
They can be prepared by heating the diacyanamide. When they are prepared with formaldehyde, they obtain a valuable resin form. CA and ammonia can be obtained under pressure at 350 0C. Melamine can be produced by heating the urea under pressure.
Usage areas
Plastic
It gives a very hard structure to plastic by its interaction with formaldehyde.
Forage
It is used as a non-protein nitrogen source in melamine animal feed containing up to 66% nitrogen, and its use is prohibited in 1978.
Fertilizer
It is used to increase the fertility in the soil by using the amount of nitrogen it contains as in the feed industry.
