Hexamine: A Versatile Chemical for Various Industries And Applications

Hexamine, also known as hexamethylenetetramine or urotropine, is a white crystalline compound with the formula (CH2)6N4. It is widely used in various industries and applications, such as:

Resins and plastics: Hexamine acts as a curing agent for phenolic resins and plastics, enhancing their mechanical properties and thermal stability. It is also used as a cross-linking agent for melamine resins, improving their water resistance and hardness.

Rubber: Hexamine serves as a vulcanization accelerator (accelerator H) for rubber, speeding up the chemical reaction between sulfur and rubber. It also improves the elasticity and tensile strength of rubber products.

Textiles: Hexamine functions as a shrink-proof agent for wool and other fabrics, preventing them from shrinking or felting when washed. It also imparts a soft and smooth feel to the fabrics.

Bactericide and explosive: Hexamine has antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it suitable for disinfecting and preserving various materials. It also has explosive characteristics, and can be used as a component of rocket propellants, smokeless powders, and detonators.

Medical use: Hexamine produces formaldehyde and kills bacteria when taken orally and meets acidic urine. It is used for treating mild urinary tract infections, such as cystitis and urethritis. It is also used externally to treat ringworm, stop sweating, and treat underarm odor.

Gas masks: Hexamine, mixed with caustic soda and sodium phenolate, is used as a phosgene absorber in gas masks, protecting the wearer from the toxic effects of phosgene gas.

Hexamine is a highly soluble chemical, with a water solubility of 895 g/L at 20℃. It has a low vapor pressure of 0.019mmHg at 25°C, indicating that it is not likely to evaporate into the air. Hexamine is a stable and non-corrosive substance, and can be stored and transported safely and conveniently.
