Dicyandiamide (C₂H₄N₄) is a white, crystalline compound derived from cyanamide polymerization. It is thermally stable and functions as a nitrogen-rich intermediate for multiple chemical applications.
Dicyandiamide
Used in the production of melamine, guanidine, pharmaceuticals, and epoxy resin curing agents. In fertilizers, it serves as a nitrification inhibitor, reducing nitrogen losses in soil. Also used in flame retardants, dyestuffs, and water treatment formulations.
Low toxicity but may cause mild irritation upon dust exposure. Avoid contact with oxidizers and moisture to maintain purity.
Supplied in 25 kg PE-lined paper bags or drums. Store cool, dry, and tightly sealed away from heat and acids.
