About this product

Melamine (1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine, CAS 108-78-1) is a white powder used mainly as the amine feedstock for melamine-formaldehyde resins — decorative laminates, moulding powder and tableware, board surfacing, and MF adhesives and coatings. It also goes into sulphonated melamine-formaldehyde concrete superplasticisers and melamine-based flame-retardant additives. We import and stock Grade A melamine to GB/T9567-2016 at 99.50% minimum purity in 25 kg bags, held at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse and dispatched across South India.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is melamine used for?

Melamine reacts with formaldehyde to form melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin, and that resin chemistry is its principal industrial use. MF resin goes into decorative laminates, moulding powder and tableware, board surfacing, adhesives and surface coatings. Melamine is also the base for sulphonated melamine-formaldehyde (SMF) concrete superplasticisers and for melamine-based flame-retardant additives.

What is the CAS number and chemical name of melamine?

Melamine is CAS 108-78-1. Its systematic chemical name is 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine, also written as 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine. The HSN code is 2933 61 00.

What grade and purity of melamine do you supply, and is it imported?

We supply Grade A melamine to GB/T9567-2016 at 99.50% minimum purity, with moisture 0.1% max, ash content 0.03% max, pH 7.5–9.5, colour 20 Hazen max and turbidity 20 Degree max. It is imported, manufactured by Shandong Shuntian Chemical Group Co., Ltd (Shandong, China) and inspected per the GB/T9567-2016 Chinese National Standard. Every spec value is backed by the manufacturer's Certificate of Analysis.

Is melamine the same as melamine resin?

No. Melamine is the raw white powder, CAS 108-78-1 — that is what we supply. Melamine resin, also called melamine-formaldehyde or MF resin, is the cured polymer produced by reacting melamine with formaldehyde. Melamine is the feedstock; the resin is the finished material made from it.

What packaging is melamine supplied in, and is it available in Chennai?

We supply melamine in 25 kg bags. Stock is held at our Redhills, Chennai warehouse and dispatched across South India. Order sizes depend on packaging and current stock — call or WhatsApp +91 86087 80096 for a quote.

Is melamine hazardous, and how should it be stored?

Melamine is a low-hazard white powder. Avoid dust generation and inhalation, store it in a dry area away from acids and strong oxidisers, and handle it with dust control and respiratory protection. A technical data sheet (SPC-TDS-PWD-004) and MSDS are available on request.
