Melamine: Do you know what it is?

Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5- triazine skeleton. Like cyanamide, it contains 66% nitrogen by mass and if mixed with resins, has fire retardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned or charred, and has several other industrial uses. Melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine which is a pesticide.
