Overview of Dicyandiamide

Dicyandiamide (DCDA) is a plethora of nitrogen-rich chemicals that are widely utilised for the manufacture of adhesives, resins, fertilisers, plastics, as well as speciality chemical products. It is admired for its stability, high reactivity and capacity to work as a hardener within epoxy resins.

The chemical formula for Dicyandiamide is C2H4N4. Its structure is comprised of two cyanamides linked by the nitrogen structure that provides high nitrogen levels as well as excellent reactivity in industrial applications of chemicals. Dicyandiamide is typically an icy white solid that dissolves in water as well as polar organic solvents, so it is suitable for industrial and large-scale manufacturing.

Applications of Dicyandiamide

Epoxy Resin & Adhesives

• Used as a curing agent for epoxy resins
• Provides high thermal and chemical resistance in adhesives and coatings
• Ensures improved mechanical strength and durability

Plastics & Polymer Industry

• Serves as a hardener in thermosetting resins
• Enhances the structural integrity and stability of polymer materials
• Applied in speciality polymer and composite manufacturing

Fertilizers & Agriculture

• Acts as a slow-release nitrogen source in fertilisers.
• Improves crop yield and nutrient efficiency
• Can be blended with phosphate-based fertilisers for customised nutrient formulations

Laboratory & Speciality Applications

• Used in chemical synthesis and research laboratories
• Suitable for small-scale experiments and industrial pilot studies
• Can be combined with N-Butylamine, N-Butyllithium, and N-Chlorosuccinimide in speciality chemical processes

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Wear chemical-resistant gloves, goggles, and protective clothing
• Avoid inhalation of dust and direct skin contact
• Use in well-ventilated areas or under fume hoods
• Store in tightly sealed containers in a cool, dry place
• Keep away from potent oxidising agents
• Follow MSDS and industrial safety protocols strictly
