Hexamine (Methenamine) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Methenamine
- Urotropine
- Hexamethylenetetramine
- C6H12N4
Hexamine supplier in Malaysia for resin, rubber, pharmaceutical and industrial buyers. Also sold as methenamine, urotropine or hexamethylenetetramine (CAS 100-97-0, formula C6H12N4), it is a white crystalline powder used as a phenolic resin hardener, adhesion promoter and pharmaceutical intermediate.
Commercial options include technical-grade powder, commonly around 99% minimum assay for resin and rubber work, and pharmaceutical-grade methenamine where a pharma-oriented specification is required. State assay, moisture, particle size and documentation needs so the quotation can match the process.
Resin manufacturers use hexamine to cross-link phenolic novolacs on heating. Rubber processors specify it in vulcanising and textile-adhesion systems, while pharmaceutical buyers request methenamine or urotropine for selected antiseptic and disinfectant preparations.
Send the required grade, specification, quantity, packing preference and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and delivery timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Common questions about hexamine
Are hexamine, methenamine, urotropine and hexamethylenetetramine the same?
Yes. They are alternate names for the same compound, CAS 100-97-0, formula C6H12N4. Methenamine is the usual pharmaceutical synonym; urotropine and hexamethylenetetramine are common industrial trade names. State the grade and application in the enquiry so the correct commercial material is quoted.
Which hexamine grade should I request?
Technical-grade powder is the usual choice for phenolic resin hardening, rubber adhesion and general industrial use. Pharmaceutical-grade methenamine is selected when a pharma or disinfectant specification and documentation set are required. Send your target assay, moisture and any monograph or purchasing limits.
What purity is typical for industrial hexamine?
Technical hexamine is commonly offered around 99% minimum assay, with moisture, ash and particle size checked against the buyer's process. Confirm the required assay and other limits in the enquiry rather than assuming a single stock specification.
What is hexamine used for in phenolic resins?
It is the standard hardener for phenolic novolac resins. Heat decomposes hexamine to formaldehyde and ammonia in situ, which cross-links the resin in moulding compounds, foundry binders and related thermoset applications.
Can packing and documents be requested with the quotation?
Yes. List preferred pack format and the product documents your quality team needs. Available packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation for the grade offered.
What details are needed for a hexamine price enquiry?
Provide the grade name, application, assay or specification limits, quantity, packing preference and delivery location. A current price is quoted on enquiry with a stated validity period.
