Benzoguanamine

Benzoguanamine (CAS 91-76-9) is a triazine-based monomer used as a reactive building block in thermoset resin systems.

Where is Benzoguanamine used?

• Coatings, polymer and textile processing: crosslinker, flame retardant and UV stabilizer
• Amino resin formulations: reacts with formaldehyde to produce benzoguanamine-formaldehyde resins
• Industrial coil and can coatings: harder, more water-resistant films than standard melamine resins
• Textile and paper finishing: wrinkle resistance and dimensional stability
• Polymer compounding: flame retardant additive with char-forming behavior
• Engineering plastics: helps meet fire performance requirements
• Adhesive and sealant formulators incorporate it as a crosslinking agent for chemical resistance and surface hardness.

Good to know: These resins deliver harder, more water-resistant films than standard melamine resins.

Commercial specifications

• Purity typically 98–99%+, confirmed by HPLC or titration
• Packaging in bags and fiber drums for bulk industrial procurement
