  • Applications

    Trichloromelamine is used primarily as a chemical intermediate in organic synthesis, serving as a building block for chlorinated melamine derivatives and other nitrogen-containing compounds in specialty chemical research across dye, pharmaceutical, and agrochemical sectors. It functions as a chlorinating and functionalizing reagent in routes to heterocycles and related scaffolds. In polymers and coatings, it can act as a crosslinking or curing component to modify resin networks and performance. It has been explored as part of flame-retardant melamine chemistry for certain plastics and coatings, contributing to formulation durability. It also appears as a laboratory reagent in process development and chemical manufacturing where controlled chlorination steps are required.
