Market Overview Quarterly Update on Global
Melamine Market Asia   Melamine market in
Southeast Asia remained dull during the quarter
ending September, weighed by the sluggish demand
from downstream industries against ample
production in China. As China was observed
exporting ample cargoes to the neighboring
countries, India announced an anti-dumping probe
on Melamine imports under the plea by its
domestic manufacturers. Q3 of 2020. Melamine was
assessed around USD 939 per MT CFR Mundra. Get

Furthermore, mounting inventories of feedstock
Urea in India, also lent a downward pressure on
its prices. Since the overall demand remained
uncertain, buyers were seen adopting a wait and
see approach depending upon the spot demand.
Owing to the sluggish offtakes of the product,
its prices in India traced a downward trajectory
in North America   With several plant shutdowns
heard in the Gulf Coast region, following the
spates of seasonal Hurricanes, supply of Melamine
in North America remained dull throughout the
quarter. Likewise, Cornerstone Chemicals, a
leading producer of Melamine in the U.S. was seen
implementing production turnaround at few of its
units in Louisiana as a precautionary measure.
However, operations at downstream companies were
not severely hindered by the supply shortage as
most of them had enough inventories to cater to
the spot demand. As per regional traders,
Melamine is likely to rebound by the next quarter
as the market will be operating at full swing to
replenish the sputtering economy.   Europe   The
European Melamine market remained oversupplied as
various Asian countries were seen dumping their
cargoes in the region in order to widen export
revenues in times of weak domestic demand.
Although the demand fundamentals of Melamine
remained plagued by the uncertainties caused by
Coronavirus, several manufacturers reported a
marginal revival in demand compared to the
previous quarter. Demand from the construction
sector also improved with increase in number of
do-it-yourself (DIY) home renovation projects.

• About
• Melamine is a nitrogen-rich, organic compound
  mainly utilized for manufacturing durable
  thermosetting resins. These resins are formed by
  combining original Melamine with Formaldehyde.
  Since these resins are known to possess
  extraordinary moulding properties, these are
  profoundly used to manufacture protective
  coatings, laminates, dinnerware, fabrics,
  furniture and several parts in automotive.
  Furthermore, some part of the primal Melamine is
  also consumed in its crystalline form for
  moisture-resistant or flame-retardant
  applications. Melamine is commonly manufactured
  from Urea by either a high or low-pressure route.
  Low-pressure process is generally carried out in
  vapor phase while high pressure process is
  carried out in the liquid-phase. Alumina catalyst
  is required in the low-pressure route to
  initially convert Urea to isocyanic acid followed
  by the formation of cyanamide to melamine.
  Whereas the high-pressure route proceeds without
  the catalyst, wherein, Urea is directly converted
  to Cyanuric acid which is then subjected to a
  reaction with Ammonia for producing Melamine.
  Low-pressure process is generally carried out in
  vapor-phase while high pressure process is
  carried out in liquid phase. Although both the
  routes claim to yield Melamine up to 99.8,
  high-pressure route is primarily preferred by the
  manufacturers owing to the lower capital
  investment involved.
