Melamine Cyanurate (MCA) Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- MCA
- Melamine Cyanurate Flame Retardant
Melamine cyanurate, commonly abbreviated MCA, is a fine white nitrogen-based flame-retardant additive for plastics, rubber, coatings and electrical materials. It is selected in polymer systems where flame performance, thermal processing behaviour, dispersion and surface appearance must be balanced.
The page covers standard, fine-particle and surface-treated grades. Formulators should specify the resin or elastomer, target flammability performance, loading range, particle-size requirement, moisture tolerance, colour, processing temperature and any electrical-property limits.
Melamine cyanurate is a distinct material from melamine, melamine-formaldehyde resin and other flame retardants. Its performance depends on the complete formulation, so it should be evaluated with the selected polymer, synergist package, processing conditions and end-use test method.
Send the polymer system, target flame test, grade preference, dispersion and moisture requirements, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation and quotation-stage data are confirmed for the selected melamine cyanurate grade.

We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standard flame-retardant grade | fine white powder | — | Flame-retardant polymer and elastomer formulations where the base resin, loading and processing window are already qualified. | Confirmed with the quotation |
| Fine-particle grade | fine white powder | — | Thin-wall, electrical and appearance-sensitive compounds requiring improved dispersion or surface finish. | Confirmed with the quotation |
| Surface-treated grade | treated fine powder | — | Polymer compounds where dispersion, moisture resistance or compatibility with the selected resin system needs additional control. | Confirmed with the quotation |

Common questions about melamine cyanurate
What is melamine cyanurate used for?
MCA is used as a flame-retardant additive in thermoplastics, engineering polymers, elastomers, coatings and electrical or electronic compounds.
Is melamine cyanurate the same as melamine?
No. Melamine cyanurate is a separate melamine-cyanuric acid complex used as an additive, while melamine is a triazine raw material with different formulation roles.
When should I choose a fine-particle MCA grade?
Fine-particle material may help thin-wall, electrical or appearance-sensitive compounds when dispersion, surface finish and processing behaviour are qualified.
Can MCA be used in rubber formulations?
It may be considered in selected elastomer and rubber compounds. Provide the polymer, cure system, loading, flame test and mechanical-property targets for evaluation.
What should be included in an MCA enquiry?
State the resin or rubber, target flammability standard, particle-size preference, treatment requirement, estimated quantity, packing and delivery point.
