Product Description
Urea-formaldehyde resin (UFR) is a non-transparent thermosetting resin or polymer. It exhibits a clear to pale yellow color in its liquid form, with a high viscosity and low volatility. It has outstanding moisture resistance, thermal stability, and adhesive strength. In liquid form, its pH ranges from 7.5 to 8.5, and its molecular weight varies based on polymerization.
It is synthesized by the reaction of urea with formaldehyde under regulated temperature and pH conditions to make a pre-polymer. After the pre-polymer is condensation polymerized, a solid or liquid resin is created. To preserve its stability and usability, the resin is cooled and kept in appropriate containers.
This polymer is extensively used in woodworking, textile processing, paper manufacturing, coatings, finishes, and the production of electrical appliances, buttons, and other molded objects. It is known for its high bonding strength, cost-effectiveness, fast curing, versatility, chemical resistance, and positive environmental impact.
