Melamine is a useful chemical commodity. Due to its particular properties it adds hardness, abrasion resistance, and water-proofing to end products. The Melamine we produce in our AUM complex in Trinidad can be found in multiple industrial applications due to its resistance to chemical, thermal and physical degradation. The melamine powder can be easily combined with other chemical compounds to form melamine resins, which have excellent handling and moulding properties. Thus, they are widely used for surface finishing in the automotive, construction and textile industry. Furthermore it is used as an adhesive in the wood industry and in the production of table ware.
Three principal characteristics make melamine chemically unique:
- stability that makes it resistant to chemical, thermal and physical degradation
- structure that allows it to be combined with other chemicals and chemical compounds, particularly formaldehyde and other monomers, in a wide variety of chemical reactions and polymerization
- 66 % nitrogen content that allows it to be considered nitrogen release product which provides excellent fire retardant properties because, when exposed to intense heat, it gives off nitrogen without toxic gases, which dilutes oxygen, thereby inhibiting combustion.
