Product Description

Product Parameters

Hexamethylene tetramine or methenamine is a heterocyclic organic compound with the formula (CH2)6N4. This white crystalline compound is highly soluble in water and polar organic solvents. It has a cage-like structure similar to adamantane. It is useful in the synthesis of other chemical compounds, e.g., plastics, pharmaceuticals, rubber additives. It sublimes in vacuum at 280 °C.

Applications

The dominant use of hexamethylenete tramine is in the production of powdery or liquid preparations of  phenolic resins  and phenolic  resin  moulding compounds, where it is added as a hardening component. These products are used as binders, e.g. in brake and clutch linings, abrasive products, non-woven textiles, formed parts produced by moulding processes, and fireproof materials.

Medical uses

As the  mandelic acid  salt (methenamine mandelate) or the  hippuric acid  salt (methenamine hippurate), it is used for the treatment of urinary tract infection. 

Histological stains

Methenamine silver stains  are used for  staining  in  histology ,

Solid fuel

Together with  1,3,5-trioxane , used by campers, hobbyists, and relief organizations for heating camping food. 

Food additive

Hexamethylene tetramine is also used as a  food additive  as a preservative ( INS number  239). It is approved for usage for this purpose in the EU, where it is listed under  E number  E239, however it is not approved in the USA, Russia, Australia, or New Zealand.

Reagent in organic chemistry

Hexamethylene tetramine is a versatile  reagent  in  organic synthesis . It is used in the  Duff reaction  (formylation of arenes), the  Sommelet reaction  (converting benzyl halides to aldehydes), and in the  Delepine reaction  (synthesis of amines from alkyl halides).

Explosives

Hexamethylene tetramine is the base component to produce  RDX
