Vulcanizing Agent in Rubber Industry

Overview

Hexamethylene Tetramine is a formaldehyde derivative. It is a white granular material made from ammonia and formaldehyde. It is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is used in the production of other chemical compounds, e.g., plastics, pharmaceuticals, rubber additives. Hexamine provides range of benefits for producers like, efficient cross-linking (with no water release) and as formaldehyde donor when used in aqueous acidic environment.
