CAS No: 461-58-5

Molecular formula : C2H4N4

Form: Powder

Product Application

Epoxy Resin Curing Agent (Primary Use):

A latent curing agent for powder coatings, electrical laminates​ (e.g., PCBs), and one-component adhesives. Requires heat (typically >180°C) to activate, providing excellent shelf stability.

Flame Retardants:

Key raw material for manufacturing melamine and guanidine-based flame retardants (e.g., melamine polyphosphate, guanidine phosphate) used in plastics, textiles, and coatings.

Pharmaceuticals & Agrochemicals:

Crucial building block for synthesizing guanidine-type drugs​ (e.g., antihypertensives, antimicrobials) and herbicides​ (e.g., guanidine derivatives like chlorpropham).

Chemical Synthesis:

Intermediate for producing guanidine salts, biguuanides​ (e.g., metformin for diabetes), and melamine.

Used in the synthesis of slow-release fertilizers​ (e.g., coated urea).

Packaging

200Kg/drum

Storage

Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated​ area. The storage temperature should generally be below 30°C (86°F).
