Also known as hexamethylenetetramine (HMT), hexamine is an organic heterocyclic compound with a chemical formula of C6H12N4. It is an odorless white crystalline powder with a cage-like structure that is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It is prepared by treating aqueous formaldehyde with ammonia and evaporating and crystallizing the solid product. It is widely utilized as a hardening compound in the formulation of phenolic resins and phenolic resin molding compounds. Besides this, it is also employed as a binder in the manufacturing of brake and clutch linings, abrasive products, non-woven textiles, and fireproof materials.
Hexamine is a clean and reproducible fire source, which is increasingly being adopted by fire-protection laboratories to test the flammability of rugs and carpets. This, in confluence with the rising need for safeguarding the environment, represents one of the key factors positively influencing the demand for hexamine across the globe. Apart from this, it assists in determining the identity of an unknown solute in a solution. As a result, it finds extensive application as a versatile reagent during several chemical reactions, such as Duff, Delepine, and Sommelet. Furthermore, there is an increase in the demand for agrochemicals, such as herbicides, fungicides and insecticides, which have hexamine as a major raw material. Furthermore, the rising adoption of the hexamine compound in the production of lightweight and portable fuel tablets used by campers, hobbyists, and the relief and military organizations to heat camp food or military rations is contributing to the market growth. Additionally, the growing utilization of hexamine in treating chronic urinary tract infections on account of its antiseptic properties is anticipated to create a favorable market outlook.
