Product Information
Dicyandiamide/DCDA CAS:461-58-5, also known as cyanoguanidine, is an important organic cyanide fine chemical raw material. Its molecular structure contains two amino groups and one cyano group, possessing both the basic reactivity of amino groups and the nucleophilic reactivity of cyano groups. It is stable at room temperature but readily undergoes condensation and hydrolysis reactions when heated. Dicyandiamide is a white crystalline powder, odorless and non-toxic, with moderate water solubility. It has irreplaceable applications in various fields, including fertilizers, resin synthesis, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and metal processing, making it one of the basic organic chemical products with large global production and wide applications.

Uses and Applications
1. Fertilizer Sector: High-efficiency nitrogen fertilizer slow-release agents and soil conditioners
Dicyandiamide is one of the most important application products in the agricultural field. As a nitrogen fertilizer slow-release agent, it can significantly improve nitrogen fertilizer utilization and reduce environmental pollution.
2. Resin Synthesis Field: Core Raw Material for Curing Agents and Crosslinking Agents
Due to its excellent amino reactivity, dicyandiamide is a key curing agent for epoxy resins and polyurethane resins, and also a raw material for the synthesis of melamine resins and urea-formaldehyde resins.
3. Pharmaceutical and Fine Chemical Fields: Intermediates and Additives
- Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Used in the synthesis of sulfonamide drugs (such as sulfadiazine, sulfamethoxazole), antibiotics (such as penicillin derivatives), antiviral drugs, etc., by constructing drug molecular skeletons through reactions such as amino condensation and cyano hydrolysis; also used in the synthesis of guanidine drugs (such as metformin, used to treat type 2 diabetes), and is one of the key raw materials for metformin production.
4. Electronics Field: High-Purity Reagents and Material Additives
Electronic-grade dicyandiamide, due to its low impurity and high purity characteristics, is widely used in the preparation of electronic materials and in electronic manufacturing processes.
5. Other Fields
(1) Metal Processing: Environmentally Friendly Metal Cleaning Agents
Dicyandiamide, as a core component of metal cleaning agents, offers significant advantages in precision metal processing cleaning due to its weak alkalinity, polar adsorption properties, and low toxicity.
(2)Aerosol Propellant: Safe Dispersing Agent
Dicyandiamide is used as a propellant and dispersion stabilizer in aerosol products, suitable for various environmentally friendly aerosols, offering excellent safety and dispersion performance.
(3)Petroleum Processing: Petroleum Dewaxing Solvent Additive
Dicyandiamide, as an auxiliary solvent in the petroleum dewaxing process, can significantly improve dewaxing efficiency and enhance the low-temperature performance of petroleum products.
