About Hexamine
Hexamine also known as Hexamethylenetetramine, methenamine, or urotropin, is a heterocyclic organic compound with the formula C6H12N4. It is useful in the synthesis of other organic compounds, including plastics, pharmaceuticals, and rubber additives. Hexamine is prepared industrially by combining formaldehyde and ammonia.[4] The reaction can be conducted in gas phase and in solution.
Hexamine is used in the production of powdery or liquid preparations of phenolic resins and phenolic resin moulding compounds, where it is added as a hardening component. As the mandelic acid salt it is used for the treatment of urinary tract infection. Hexamine is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. It is used in the Duff reaction, the Sommelet reaction and in the Delepine reaction.
