CAS 108-78-1: Melamine
Description:Melamine, with the CAS number 108-78-1, is an organic compound characterized by its white crystalline appearance and high nitrogen content. It is a triazine derivative, specifically a 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine, and is known for its thermal stability and resistance to fire. Melamine is soluble in water at elevated temperatures but less so at room temperature, and it exhibits a high melting point. This compound is primarily used in the production of melamine-formaldehyde resins, which are utilized in laminates, adhesives, and coatings due to their durability and resistance to heat and chemicals. Additionally, melamine is employed in the manufacturing of plastics, fertilizers, and as a flame retardant. However, it is important to note that melamine can be toxic in high doses, particularly in relation to its use in food products, where it has been associated with health risks. Overall, melamine's unique properties make it valuable in various industrial applications while necessitating careful handling and regulation.
