Présentation du produit & avantages clés
Melamine cyanurate is a salt of melamine and cyanuric acid. Above about 320 °C it decomposes endothermically, releasing inert nitrogen gases that dilute the flame and helping the melt drip away from the flame. That makes it the standard halogen-free flame retardant for unreinforced PA6 and PA66 reaching UL 94 V-0, and it is also used in TPU, epoxy and other polymers.
Fine, uniform particle size matters for mechanical properties and surface finish; purity and whiteness matter for light colors.
Clean and white
White powder with low smoke and no corrosive gas.
Specified on your terms
We quote against your purity, la taille des particules, moisture and whiteness and send the batch COA for each lot.

Applications by Polymer
Where MC is used, and what to confirm before you switch supply.
Unreinforced polyamides
The standard halogen-free flame retardant for unreinforced PA6 and PA66 connectors and electrical parts.
Check before trial
- UL 94 class and thickness

- Monthly volume
TPU and elastomers
Used in TPU for cable jackets and films.
Check before trial
- Cable or film standard
- Fine particle size
- Bag size
Epoxy, coatings and others
Used in epoxy, intumescent coatings and other polymers, often with phosphorus flame retardants.

Selection & comparaison
Choosing the right MC grade
| Your requirement | What usually works |
|---|---|
| Unreinforced PA6 / PA66 | Standard MC with fine particle size |
| TPU and thin films | Specify finer particle size |
| Glass-filled polyamides | Ask: MC alone is usually not enough; phosphorus systems are used |
| Replacing an existing supplier | Send your current TDS or COA; we quote against the parameters you approve |
Emballage & stockage
Emballage
Tell us the bag or drum size and pallet requirements you need; we confirm the packaging with the quotation.
Storage
Keep bags closed in a dry store.
Du premier e-mail à la fourniture approuvée
Name the end use
Name the polymer and the fire rating you must meet — UL 94 class and thickness, LOI or cable standard.
Compare the numbers that matter
Pureté, la taille des particules (D50 and D98), moisture and whiteness.
Check dispersion
Particle size and dispersion decide impact strength; compare mechanical results, not only the fire test.
Trial, then lock the spec
Compound a trial batch, run your fire and mechanical tests, and keep the approved lot COA as the reference.
