Melamine cyanurate（Cat No.:M012484） is a chemical compound formed from a reaction between melamine and cyanuric acid. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is primarily used as a flame retardant in various polymers, including plastics, textiles, and paper. Melamine cyanurate is particularly valued for its ability to decompose at high temperatures to release inert gases, which help suppress fire by diluting flammable gases in the air. This non-halogenated flame retardant is favored for its environmental profile, as it does not produce toxic or corrosive gases upon decomposition, making it safer for both human health and the environment.
