1.Hexamine acts as a key curing agent for phenol-formaldehyde resins, enhancing finished products’ hardness, heat resistance and mechanical strength (e.g., molded parts, adhesives).
2.Hexamine serves as a vulcanization accelerator in rubber production, shortening curing time and improving rubber’s elasticity, wear resistance (applied in tires, seals).
3.Hexamine works as an additive in industrial coatings/adhesives, boosting substrate adhesion and adhesive water resistance for harsh environments.
4.Pharmaceutical-grade C₆H₁₂N₄(USP/EP compliant) aids urinary tract infection treatment by inhibiting bacteria growth, requiring doctor guidance.
5.C₆H₁₂N₄ acts as a preservative in metal processing fluids, a catalyst in organic synthesis, and a raw material for industrial explosives (strict safety protocols needed).
