Industrial Commodities & Specialities

CARBOCRAFT supplies a diverse range of Dicyandiamide, commonly known as DCD. Through a close collaboration with the European market leader, we have access to a premium range of DCD products for primarily industrial applications.

DCD is an organic compound with the chemical formula C₂H₄N₄ and takes the physical shape of a white, odourless crystalline powder. Dicyandiamide is typically produced through the thermal decomposition of cyanamide, which is won by the reaction of calcium carbide with nitrogen gas.

Dicyandiamide is widely used in agriculture as a nitrification inhibitor. It is added to fertilizers to control the release of nitrogen in soil. By slowing down the conversion of ammonium to nitrate, DCD plays a crucial role in minimizing nitrogen loss through leaching and denitrification. This application improves fertilizer efficiency, reduces environmental pollution, and helps maintain optimal nitrogen levels in soil.

Epoxy Resins: Dicyandiamide is an important component in the production of epoxy resins. It acts as a curing agent, aiding in the cross-linking reactions required for the transformation of liquid epoxy resins into solid, durable materials. This cured epoxy resin exhibits excellent mechanical properties, adhesion, and resistance to heat, chemicals, and electrical stress. It finds applications in coatings, adhesives, electrical insulation systems, and composites.

Flame Retardants: Dicyandiamide is commonly used as a flame retardant in various industries. It can be incorporated into polymers, textiles, and plastics to enhance their fire resistance properties. DCD-based flame retardants work by delaying or preventing the spread of fire and reducing the release of smoke and toxic gases.

Copper Refining: Dicyandiamide (DCD) is frequently used in the copper refining industry in the purification and electroplating processes for copper. In the purification of copper, DCD can be added to the electrolyte solution to control impurities and improve the quality of the refined copper. DCD acts as a complexing agent, forming stable complexes with impurities such as iron and other metal ions. This helps to prevent the deposition of impurities on the cathode during the electroplating process, resulting in a purer copper product. In addition, DCD may be used as an additive in the electroplating baths for copper to enhance the quality and performance of the electroplated copper coatings. It helps to improve the adhesion, brightness, and levelling of the plated copper layers, which are important characteristics for various applications in electronics, electrical components, and decorative finishes.
