OCI MELAMINEMelafine®
Melafine® is halogen-free and has a tightly controlled, narrow particle size distribution to ensure a reliable and predictable intumescent process. This makes Melafine the ideal blowing agent for leading coatings producers. Its fine particle size is also fit for use in thin film coatings for architecturally exposed surfaces.
