Description:
Dicyandiamide is a nitrile derived from guanidine. It is a dimer of cyanamide, from which it can be prepared. Dicyandiamide is a colorless solid that is soluble in water, acetone, and alcohol, but not nonpolar organic solvents.
Application:
- The largest application field of dicyandiamide is as a synthetic component for the production of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API’s), inter alia for the manufacture of the type II anti-diabetes drug Metformin.
- 2-Cyanoguanidine is a highly reactive nitrile that is non-hazardous. Key uses of Dicyandiamide are as a curing agent for epoxy resins and as a flameproofing agent for timber and fibreglass insulation.
