MONO METHYLAMINE TRIAZINE

What is Mono Methylamine Triazine?

Mono methylamine triazine (MMA triazine) is a cyclic triazine produced from methylamine and formaldehyde; it reacts with hydrogen sulfide to neutralize it and is used as an H2S scavenger.

What is the CAS number of Mono Methylamine Triazine?

The CAS number of Mono Methylamine Triazine is 4719-04-4.

What is Mono Methylamine Triazine used for?

Mono methylamine triazine is used in oil and gas to scavenge H2S in produced fluids and gas; for corrosion and odor control; in refineries; and in wastewater and gas sweetening. Venus Ethoxyethers manufactures and supplies in India; request a quote for your requirements.

Hexahydro-1,3,5-tris(methyl)-s-triazine is produced by the reaction of stoichiometrically equal amounts of methylamine and formaldehyde under controlled conditions. This condensation reaction results in the formation of a cyclic triazine structure, commonly referred to as MMA (mono methylamine) triazine. The molecule contains three nitrogen atoms incorporated into a stable six-membered ring, each substituted with a methyl group. Its cyclic aminal structure provides high reactivity toward acidic sulfur-containing compounds while maintaining good thermal and storage stability in formulated systems.

MMA triazine is widely used in the oil and gas industry as an efficient scavenger for hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and low-molecular-weight mercaptans present in gaseous and liquid hydrocarbon streams. Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic and corrosive gas commonly encountered during crude oil production, refining, and natural gas processing. When MMA triazine reacts with H₂S, it forms stable, non-volatile dithiazine derivatives, thereby removing the hazardous gas from the process stream. This helps protect pipelines, storage tanks, and processing equipment from corrosion, while also ensuring compliance with safety and environmental regulations related to sulfur emissions.

In addition to upstream oilfield applications, MMA triazine is used in refineries, petrochemical plants, and gas treatment facilities for in-line scavenging and batch treatment operations. It can be injected directly into production streams or blended into treatment fluids, offering operational flexibility and ease of handling. Its effectiveness in both aqueous and hydrocarbon phases makes it particularly valuable in multiphase systems. By controlling H₂S levels and reducing odor-causing mercaptans, MMA triazine contributes to improved product quality, enhanced workplace safety, and extended equipment life across hydrocarbon processing operations.
