Rulon Bearings

Oceanchem Group Melamine Cyanurate (MCA)
Categories: Other Engineering Material; Additive/Filler for Polymer

Material Notes: Molecular Formula: C6H9N9O3

Cas No.: 37640-57-6

Physical Appearance: Fine, white, crystalline powder, nontoxic, odorless; indissolvable in water and most organic solvents.

Use: Melamine Cyanurate is a halogen-free flame retardant for polyamide. Melamine Cyanurate has established itself as the flame retardant to achieve UL 94 V-0 especially for polyamide 6 and 6,6. Addition of MCA gives PA6(66) good mechanical and electrical properties. Being halogen free also results in significant advantages in terms of fire safety, i.e. lower smoke density, lower smoke toxicity and less corrosion.

Features: Steady color, good electrical properties, environmentally friendly.

Storage and Transportation: Handle with care, keep airtight and dry.
