DICY

Electronic grade dicyandiamide is used as epoxy resin curing agent in copper cladding of electronic information industry, inner film of metal package in food and drink industry, super grade in noxious flame-retardant, plastic additives in package of foodstuff and intermediates in pharmaceutical industry.

Dicyandiamide is white prismatic crystalline powder with a solubility of 2.26% in water at 13℃. It is easily soluble in hot water, and it will decompose slowly to produce ammonia when the aqueous solution is above 80℃. It is stable when dry, does not burn, low toxicity. It is also used in production of organic chemicals, which include, water treatment chemicals, slow and controlled nitrogen release fertilizers, dye fixing agents, and pharmaceuticals. Dicyandiamide is used as an intermediate in the production of fertilizers, flame retardants, coatings, and adhesives.

Dicyandiamide, also known as cyanoguanidine, has long been used as a latent curing agent in powder coatings, adhesives and other fields. Dicyandiamide can be stored at room temperature for up to 6 months after mixing with epoxy resin. The curing mechanism of dicyandiamide is complex. Besides the four hydrogens on dicyandiamide, the cyanogroup also has some reactivity. When DCD is used as curing agent of epoxy resin, the curing temperature is very high, generally between 150 ℃ and 170℃. At this temperature, many devices and materials cannot be used because they cannot bear such temperature, or the curing temperature of one-component epoxy resin must be reduced due to the requirements of the production process.

Dicyandiamide, abbreviation DICY or DCD, is a dimer of cyanamide and is also a cyano derivative of guanidine. Chemical Formula is C₂H₄N₄. It is white crystal powder, which soluble in water, alcohol, ethylene glycol and dimethyl formamide, almost insoluble in ether and benzene. It is nonflammable, stable when dry.

Ultra-fine Dicyandiamide is primarily used for epoxy powder coatings, film adhesives, electronic potting, etc. The ultra-fine particles have the storage stability of more than six months, which helps prevent settling and promotes uniform curing. Epoxy systems cured with ultra-micronized dicyandiamide offer superior adhesion, making it a preferred option for adhesive formulations. Furthermore, ultra-micronized dicyandiamide is compatible with all epoxy resins such as bisphenol A, novolac, etc. along with a varied range of pigments and fillers. Moreover, ultra-micronized dicyandiamide is non-toxic.

Dicyandiamide is primarily used as raw material for active pharmaceutical ingredients production for making anti-diabetic drugs. It is also used as a curing agent in epoxy resins and laminates for circuit boards and adhesives. It is also used in production of organic chemicals, which include, water treatment chemicals, slow and controlled nitrogen release fertilizers, dye fixing agents, and pharmaceuticals. Dicyandiamide is used as an intermediate in the production of fertilizers, flame retardants, coatings, and adhesives.

Dicyandiamide is primarily used in the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), which are used in production of metformin, a preferred drug for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. Metformin is also used in the treatment of excess weight and obesity. Metformin improves glucose tolerance in diabetic patients, lowering basal and postprandial plasma glucose.

Dicyandiamide, abbreviated DICY or DCDA, which is also known as 2-Cyanoguanidine, is a alkaline, hydrophilic white crystalline compound. It is a dimer of cyanogen and a cyanogen derivative of guanidine.The solubility in water is 2.26% at 13℃, which is higher in hot water. When aqueous solution is at 80℃, it will decomposed gradually to produce ammonia. The solubility in anhydrous ethanol is 1.2% at 13℃, which is soluble in liquid ammonia but insoluble in benzene and chloroform.

Dicyandiamide (DCDA) is a kind of White crystal. Relative density is 1.40. Melting point is 209-212°C. It is soluble in water and alcohol, slightly insoluble in aether and benzene. It is Stable in dry condition. Not flammable. Dicyandiamide is an intermediate for synthesis of medicines. It is used in the production of a wide range of organic chemicals, including slow and continuous nitrogen release fertilizer, pesticides, dye fixing, fire proofing agents, epoxy laminates for circuit boards, powder coatings and adhesives, water treatment chemicals, leather and rubber chemicals, explosives and pharmaceuticals.
