Hexamine

Hexamine colorless, white crystalline or crystalline powder, odorless, bitter early sweet after taste. Water in the air, there is deliquescence. Relative density of 1.27, heated to 260-263 ℃ sublimation, soluble in water, alkaline aqueous solution, soluble in alcohol, insoluble in gasoline, acetone, slightly soluble in ether. With dilute nitric acid and acetic acid reaction can generate salt, and dilute sulfuric acid release formaldehyde. In case of fire there is a danger of burning, heat decomposed to release toxic nitrogen oxides flue gas. Mix with oxidizer to form an explosive mixture. A little corrosive to the skin.

① It mainly used as resin and plastic curing agent, aminoplast catalyst and foaming agent, rubber vulcanization accelerator (accelerator H), textile shrinkage inhibitor and so on.

② It is the organic synthesis of raw materials, used in the pharmaceutical industry to produce chloramphenicol.

③ Used as a disinfectant of the urinary system, which itself has no antibacterial effect, effective against Gram-negative bacteria. Its 20% solution can be used to treat underarm odor, sweaty feet, body ringworm and so on. Mixed with sodium hydroxide and sodium phenolate and can be used as a phosgene absorbent in gas masks.

④ Used in the manufacture of pesticides and pesticides. Hexamethylenetetramine and fuming nitric acid can be extremely explosive explosive cyclone, referred to as RDX.

⑤ Used as bismuth, indium, manganese, cobalt, thorium, platinum, magnesium, lithium, copper, uranium, beryllium, tellurium, bromide, iodide and other reagents and chromatography reagents.

⑥ It is a commonly used military fuel.

⑦ As a resin and plastic curing agent, rubber vulcanization accelerator (accelerator H), textile shrink-proof agent, and for the system of fungicides, explosives and so on. Medicinal, after oral administration of acid decomposition of formaldehyde and play a bactericidal effect, for mild urinary tract infection; External for the treatment of ringworm, antiperspirant, cure underarm odor. And caustic soda and sodium phenol mixed for gas masks for the phosgene absorbent.
