Melamine

Melamine is a white crystaline solid produced by the reaction of ammonia and urea over a catalyst. It is typically shipped in bags and is used mainly as a raw material in the production of melamine formaldehyde resins. These resins are used to produce wood laminates, in textile and paper treatment and as leather tanning agents. Melamine itself also finds applications in flame retardants, speciality fertilizers, ion exchange resins and as a concrete additive.
