Guanamine
Guanamines refer to compounds with the basic structure 2,4-diamino-1,3,5-triazine. Thanks to their two reactive amino groups, they offer a wide range of applications.
Our products are particularly in demand in the fields of can-, coil-, and electronic coating. Our customers benefit especially from the high flexibility, which allows for individual adjustments to their respective production processes.
Full backward integration by Alzchem
Alzchem is fully backward-integrated through its own production of Dicyandiamide and the corresponding nitrile, making it ideally positioned for the manufacturing of Guanamines.
All process steps from raw materials to the final product take place in our state-of-the-art multipurpose facilities in Trostberg (83308, Germany), with comprehensive quality monitoring throughout and all from a single source.
This extensive setup provides the ideal foundation for consistently outstanding product quality in our Guanamines:
- Acetoguanamine (2,4-Diamino-6-Methyl-1,3,5-Triazine)
TDS available upon request - Benzoguanamine (2,4-Diamino-6-Phenyl-1,3,5-Triazine)
Additionally: low in melamine – already meeting rising environmental requirements
TDS available upon request - Caprinoguanamine (2,4-Diamino-6-Nonyl-1,3,5-Triazine)
Additionally: melamine-free

Feel free to contact us with any questions, and benefit from our many years of experience in this field.
Products & Applications
Caprinoguanamin
EPS (Expandable Polystyrene)
- easy to handle
- good insulation properties
- light weight
- cost‑effective
- high compressive strength
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane)
- high tensile strength
- excellent abrasion resistance
- rubber‑like elasticity
- high transparency
Elastische Faser
- versatile applications

Benzoguanamin
- Can Coating
Used as a crosslinker in alkyd and acrylic resins to optimize their thermosetting properties. It also serves as a modifier and flexibilizer for formaldehyde resins.
This effectively prevents hairline cracks during can manufacturing and ensures a flawless surface quality.
- Paints and Coatings
improved adhesion, increased gloss, and enhanced flexibility
- High‑Pressure Laminates (HPL)
They allow a tight bending radius during processing while offering an excellent surface quality.
