Hexamine
Hexamine is made from ammonia and formaldehyde. It is an efficient crosslinker with no water release and is a formaldehyde donor when used in an aqueous acidic environment.
Available in aqueous solutions, it is used in a variety of industrial applications, including:
Curing agent for industrial phenolic resins
Chemical intermediate/chemical synthesis
Rubber cross-linker
Metal and Rubber hardening agent
Ballistics and munitions for civil and military applications
Reagent in inorganic chemistries
Also known as: Hexa, Hexamine, Hexamethylenetetramine, and HMT/HMTA
Hexamine™
Bakelite Phenolic Novalac are powder or flake resin.
| Hexamine | Description | Package Size |
|---|---|---|
| Borden™ NS-40A | Typically recognized as a phenolic resin, often used in abrasives, coatings, and molded composites. | |
| Hexamine™-Free Flow{3%} | Stabilized form of hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) that contains approximately 3% flow agent, often stearates or similar additives, to improve handling and flow properties in bulk applications. | |
| Hexamine-Granular™ | Solid form of hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) presented in larger, free-flowing granules instead of fine powder. This physical form improves dust control, handling, and flow characteristics, especially in automated or bulk processes. | |
| Hexamine-Liquid™ NS-425 | Liquid formulation of hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine) designed for enhanced ease of mixing, dosing, and reactivity in industrial applications, particularly in phenolic resin systems. | |
| Hexamine-Code™ Ultrax A | A specialty-grade hexamethylenetetramine (hexamine), typically tailored for high-purity and consistent performance in advanced industrial applications. While the exact formulation may vary slightly depending on the manufacturer, “Ultrax A” commonly denotes a premium or technical grade with controlled particle size and enhanced flow or purity characteristics. |
