MEDICINAL USE OF HEXAMINE
HEXAMINE acts as an anti-infective agent, which is the most commonly used element to treat urinary tract infections. The anti-infective action of hexamine is derived from the slow release of formaldehyde (CH2O) by the process of hydrolysis at an acidic pH of 0.2 molars. Also, methenamine is a colorless, odorless, and lustrous crystal or white hygroscopic crystalline powder.
Since the mandelic acid salt (which is a generic methenamine mandelate, USP) is used for urinary tract infection treatments, it decomposes at an acidic pH to produce ammonia, and formaldehyde is bactericidal; which the mandelic acid adds to this effect. Typically, urinary acidity is ensured by co-administering ammonium chloride or vitamin C (otherwise an ascorbic acid).
This compound's usage had temporarily been reduced in the late 1990s because of the adverse effects, specifically chemically-induced hemorrhagic cystitis in the case of overdose. However, currently, its use has been re-approved due to the prevalence of antibiotic resistance to drugs, which are more commonly used. This drug is especially suitable for long-term prophylactic urinary tract infection treatments because the bacteria do not develop resistance to formaldehyde. Also, it should not be used in chronic kidney disease presence.
In the form of spray and creams, hexamine is successfully used for the treatment of concomitant odor and excessive sweating with the medical citation.

The dominant use of hexamine can be in the production of liquid or powdery preparations of phenolic resins. The moulding compounds of phenolic resin are added as a hardening component. Where, we can use these products like binders, for example, in clutch and brake linings, non-woven textiles, abrasive products, formed parts produced by the moulding processes, and fireproof materials.
It has been proposed that the hexamine powder could work as a molecular building block for the self-assembled molecular crystals.
Solid Fuel
Together with 1,3,5-trioxane, the hexamine fuel tablets component is used by hobbyists, campers, the relief, and military organizations to heat camp food or military rations. It also burns smokelessly, and it holds a high energy density of 30.0 megajoules per kilogram (MJ/kg), which does not liquify while burning, and does not leave ashes, although it has toxic fumes.
Fire-protection laboratories use the standardized hexamine tablets of 0.149 g as a clean and reproducible fire source to test the flammability of rugs and carpets.
Reagent in Organic Chemistry
Hexamine compound is a versatile reagent in organic synthesis. It can be used in the Duff reaction (which is the formylation of arenes), in the Delepine reaction (amine synthesis from alkyl halides), and in the Sommelet reaction (by converting benzyl halides to aldehydes).
