HEXAMETHYLENETETRAMINE
Prepared at the 17th JECFA (1973), published in FNP 4 (1978) and in FNP
52 (1992). Metals and arsenic specifications revised at the 63rd JECFA
(2004). An ADI of 0-0.15 mg/kg bw was established at the 17th JECFA
(1973)
SYNONYMS Hexamine, methenamine, INS No. 239
DEFINITION
Chemical names 1,3,5,7-Tetraazatricyclo[3.3.1.13,7]-decane, hexamethylenetetramine
C.A.S. number 100-97-0
Chemical formula C6H12N4
Structural formula
Formula weight 140.19
Assay Not less than 99.0% on the dried basis
DESCRIPTION Nearly odourless, colourless lustrous crystals, or white crystalline powder
FUNCTIONAL USES Antimicrobial preservative
CHARACTERISTICS
IDENTIFICATION
Solubility (Vol. 4)
Freely soluble in water, soluble in ethanol
Test for formaldehyde Heat a 1 in 10 solution of the sample with dilute sulfuric acid TS.
Formaldehyde is liberated, recognizable by its odour and by its darkening of
paper moistened with silver ammonium nitrate TS.
Test for ammonia (Vol. 4)
Passes test
PURITY
Loss on drying (Vol. 4)
Not more than 2.0% (over P2O5, 4 h)
Sulfated ash (Vol. 4)
Not more than 0.05%
Test 2 g of the sample (Method I)
Ammonium salts Add 1 ml of Nessler's reagent TS to 10 ml of a 5% solution of the sample.
The mixture should not be darker than a mixture of 1 ml of the reagent in 10
ml of water.
Lead (Vol. 4) Not more than 2 mg/kg
Determine using an atomic absorption technique appropriate to the
specified level. The selection of sample size and method of sample
preparation may be based on the principles of the method described in
Volume 4, “Instrumental Methods.”
METHOD OF
ASSAY
Weigh, to the nearest 0.1 mg, 1 g of the sample, previously dried for 4 h
over phosphorus pentoxide. Transfer into a beaker and add 40.00 ml of N
sulfuric acid. Boil gently adding water from time to time, if necessary, until
the odour of formaldehyde is no longer perceptible. Cool, add 20 ml of
water, and methyl red TS and titrate the excess acid with N sodium
hydroxide. Each ml of N sulfuric acid is equivalent to 35.05 mg of C6H12N4.
