Non-Functionalized Melamine Resin

Melamine Resin Particles –  High Density and Refractive Index

Melamine resin is a synonymous for high mechanical, thermal and chemical stability. Introduced by microParticles GmbH as a new and versatile product family in the late 1990’s, melamine resin spheres are prepared by an acid-catalyzed polycondensation process in aqueous solution using selected precursors. Our particles combine high monodispersity (CV < 5 %), spherical form, high optical transparency and smooth surface morphology. Further favorable properties are:

• high solvent stability
• hydrophilic surface properties
• high refractive index (1,68)
• high density (1,51 g/cm³).

Applications:

• used in template synthesis, dusty plasma research, and optical material development.
•  high refractive index and density make them suitable for advanced photonic and structural applications.
