Dicyandiamide

Applications:

Dicyandiamide is a nitrogen-based molecule (66% by weight) with high reactivity that is used in a wide variety of applications across multiple industries. Applications include:

• Flame retardant additive in timer, paper, and textile industries
• Slow/continuous release nitrogen fertilizer
• Hardener/curing agent in Epoxy resins
• Powder coatings
• Dielectric coatings
• Adhesives
• Water treatment chemicals
• Dye fixing
• Pharmaceutical applications
• Stabilizer compound for PVC flooring
• Floatation depressant in copper ores

Fertilizer Applications:

Dicyandiamide from The Chemical Company is used in fertilizer formulations as a slow/continuous release nitrogen source. There are two major ways in which nitrogen is lost from soil – denitrification and leeching. Denitrification is loss of nitrogen to the atmosphere. Leeching is when nitrogen is washed from soil through rain or irrigation. Dicy has been shown to prevent nitrogen loss through both leeching and de-nitrification in soil. This helps reduce the negative effects of greenhouse gas emission such as nitrous oxide and nitrate leaching into waterways.

The Chemical Company has been an active supplier of Dicyandiamide in the Americas for the past 30 years.
