Classification
Nouns denoting substances.
Examples
- Cyanuramide is a key intermediate in the production of melamine, which is used to make melamine resins.
- The chemical properties of cyanuramide make it an ideal precursor for the synthesis of various melamine-based polymers.
- Cyanuramide is typically synthesized through the reaction of dicyandiamide with ammonia, resulting in a white crystalline solid.
- In the manufacturing process, cyanuramide is often combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine-formaldehyde resins.
- The use of cyanuramide in the production of melamine resins has become increasingly important in the development of durable and heat-resistant coatings.
