Melam granulate material and process for preparation thereof

A process for the preparation of a melam granulate material, the process comprising steps of:

• (i) preparing an aqueous slurry from a freshly prepared moist melam having a water content of at least 8 wt. %, relative to the total weight of the moist melam, the slurry comprising water, melam and a water soluble polymeric binding agent, wherein the melam is present in an amount of 5-35 wt. % relative to the total weight of the slurry, and the water soluble polymeric binding agent is present in an amount of 0.5-8 wt. % relative to the total amount of melam and the water soluble polymeric binding agent;
• (ii) drying the slurry in fluid bed to form a granulate material consisting of granules comprised of melam particles bonded to each other with the polymeric binding agent, wherein the granules have a median particle size (d50) in a range of 100-1000 μm;
• and
• (iii) collecting the resulting granulate material.
