UREA FORMALDEHYDE AND MELAMINE FORMALDEHYDE MOULDING POWDER

The reaction between urea and formaldehyde has proved to  be extremely  complicated.   It  took about 40 years  to  reach  the present  stale  knowledge of this reaction, and there  are  still many  problems.  Urea has a four replaceable hydrogen atoms,  and thus a functionality of four, so there are various  possibilities for  reaction with formaldehyde.  It therefore have the  capacity of building up a three dimensional space lattice.  The  molecular proportion  of  urea to formaldehyde is very  important,  as  the
relative  amount of the reactants determine, to a  large  extent, the  properties  of  the product.  The  reaction  temperature  is another  decisive  factor, ambient, medium  or  high  temperature produces  resins  with  different  properties.   The  same  urea-formaldehyde    condensation   product   may    have    different applications,  which  demand higher or lower  viscosity.   It  is therefore  essential to define the resins as to their  extent  of condensation.   These possibilities of variations largely  amount
for the remarkable versality of urea-formaldehyde resins.
