Cyanamide is a highly versatile compound with applications spanning multiple industries. In agriculture, it serves as a crucial intermediate for the production of various pesticides, including fungicides like Carbendazim and Benomyl, as well as herbicides such as Chlorsulfuron and Metsulfuron methyl. Within the industrial sector, it is used to manufacture chemicals like Dicyandiamide and Cyanuric amide, which are vital for producing resins and plastics. In the dye industry, cyanamide contributes to the synthesis of intermediates like 3-Amino-5-hydroxyl-1,2,4-triazole, essential for creating specific dyes. The pharmaceutical industry also benefits from cyanamide, using it as a precursor in the production of drugs like Cytarabine. Additionally, it plays a role in agriculture as a nitrogen fertilizer and plant growth regulator, aiding in dormancy-breaking for fruit trees and improving soil quality.

It is also used as a precursor in the production of guanidine compounds and various pharmaceutical compounds. It is also used as a starting material for the production of fertilizers and pesticides. It helps in improving flowering and fruiting. It stimulates uniform bud opening, early foliation, and bloom in woody plants like blueberries, grapes, apples, peaches, and kiwifruit. Cyanamide is also used in skincare products for its cell regeneration properties.

The market for Cyanamide is primarily led by its demand as a dormancy-breaking agent to enhance crop yields and improve pest resistance in agriculture. Its utilization as a raw material for manufacturing pesticides also fuels its demand in the agrochemical industry. Its application as an intermediate in the production of drugs, particularly for antiviral agents, cardiovascular medicines, and anti-cancer drugs, also fuels its demand in the pharmaceutical manufacturing industry. Its involvement as a component in the formulation of various skin care products further enhances its demand in the cosmetics industry.

Cyanamide is produced from calcium carbide, which means the availability of this compound as a primary raw material is important. Fluctuations in the supply of calcium carbide, along with changes in its cost and availability, directly impact the production cost and industrial Cyanamide procurement. Depending on its application, particularly in pharmaceuticals or as a pesticide in agriculture, cyanamide must meet specific purity and quality standards. Therefore, compliance with these quality standards also greatly impacts the procurement strategies for Cyanamide.

Raw Material for Cyanamide Production

According to the Cyanamide manufacturing plant project report, the major raw material for Cyanamide production includes Calcium Carbide.

Manufacturing Process of Cyanamide

The extensive Cyanamide production cost report consists of the following industrial manufacturing process:

• Production via Continuous Carbonation: This method of production involves the synthesis of Cyanamide by using calcium cyanamide and calcium carbide as the raw materials. The process begins with passing gaseous nitrogen through a bed of calcium carbide and 1% calcium fluorspar, followed by heating it to 1000–1100°C, which leads to the formation of calcium cyanamide. Further, the source of heat is removed, and the strong exothermic reaction continues, which results in the formation of cyanamide as the final product.

Cyanamide exists in the form of a white crystalline solid or colorless, odorless crystal with a molecular weight of 42.04 g/mol. The molecular formula of the compound is CH2N2. The density of the compound is around 1.28 g/cm³ at 20°C. It is highly soluble in water (77 g / 100 g solution at 15°C) and various organic solvents. The pH of the compound ranges from 3.5 to 5.5 when measured undiluted at 20°C. The melting point of the compound is 44-46.1°C and decomposes at its boiling point of 260°C. The structure of cyanamide has a nitrile group attached to an amino group (N≡C–NH2) and exists in two tautomeric forms, with the N≡C–NH2 form being dominant. The compound is unstable above 49°C, and it exhibits complex reactivity, as it can act as both a nucleophile and electrophile. Additionally, cyanamide is toxic if swallowed and can cause severe skin burns and eye damage, necessitating careful handling and storage.
