Hexamine (Urotropine) is a white crystalline powder known for its high purity, stability, and versatility across multiple industries. It is produced through the reaction of formaldehyde and ammonia, offering excellent solubility in water and alcohol.
This compound is widely used as a curing agent in phenolic and urea-formaldehyde resins, an accelerator in rubber manufacturing, and a key raw material in the production of RDX (Cyclonite) and other energetic materials. In addition, Hexamine is applied in pharmaceuticals, disinfectants, and textile finishing processes.
Our Hexamine features purity ≥99%, low moisture content, and consistent particle size, ensuring reliable performance in both chemical synthesis and industrial applications. We offer flexible packaging options (25kg bags or jumbo bags) and fast delivery from major ports to meet global supply needs.
