Structure:

Name:

Melamine Cyanurate

Formula:

C₆H₉N₉O₃

Molecular Weight:

255.2

CAS No.:

37640-57-6

EINECS:

2535757

Applications:

MCA is used as an effective flame retardant, primarily for electrical & electronic applications  (connectors, switches, housings, etc) made from polyamide or TPU.

In unfilled or mineral filled compounds it gives a UL94 V-0 rating; in glass filled system only a UL94 V-2 rating is possible.

Features/

benefits

Addition levels of MCA are relatively low, giving good economics, mechanical properties and lower specific gravity compared to compounds containing halogen/antimony flame retardant systems.

Being halogen free also results in significant advantages in terms of fire safety, i.e. lower smoke density, lower smoke toxicity and less corrosion.

Lower corrosivity offers advantages both in the processing stage and in case of a fire. In the processing stage lifetime of barrels and moulds will be extended, resulting in decreased equipment costs.

Specification:

Handling & Safety

MCA requires no special safety measures, provided the usual precautions for handling chemicals are observed. Avoid dust formation and ignition sources.
