Thermoset composite systems of phenol and formaldehyde, some of which can he substituted for a number of structural applications can also be considered as engineering plastics and they have been in use for a very long time. In recent applications, improved urea - melamine resins have been used as matrices more and more for composite systems, because of their non-melting, high thermal and chemical resistances, hardnesses, mechanical-dimensional stabilities and low flammabilities. [Pg.92]

The usual catalysts or curing agents are ammonium salts, for example ammonium chloride. It may be mixed with wood flour or walnut shell flour and mixed with the amino resin just before application. A buffer may also be included with the catalyst. This could be calcium phosphate. It is slow in reacting but will combine with the acid released by the ammonium chloride and thus reduce the damage that the acid might cause to the wood. Such catalyst systems may be used with urea resins or urea-melamine resins to provide full cure at room temperature for furniture assembly. Resins for plywood and chipboard applications are usually hot pressed without any external catalyst. [Pg.344]

Uses. The principal use of adiponitrile is for hydrogenation to hexamethylene diamine leading to nylon-6,6. However, as a result of BASE s new adiponitrile-to-caprolactam process, a significant fraction of ADN produced may find its way into nylon-6 production. Adipoquanamine, which is prepared by the reaction of adiponitrile with dicyandiamide [461-58-5] (cyanoguanidine), may have uses in melamine—urea amino resins (qv) (see "Benzonitrile, Uses"). Its typical Hquid nitrile properties suggest its use as an extractant for aromatic hydrocarbons. [Pg.221]

Urea is also used as feed supplement for mminants, where it assists in the utilization of protein. Urea is one of the raw materials for urea—formaldehyde resins. Urea (with ammonia) pyrolyzes at high temperature and pressure to form melamine plastics (see also Cyanamides). Urea is used in the preparation of lysine, an amino acid widely used in poultry feed (see Amino acids Feeds and feed additives, petfoods). It also is used in some pesticides. [Pg.310]

Melamine resins are included in urea—formaldehyde resins. [Pg.497]

Amino and Phenolic Resins. The largest use of formaldehyde is in the manufacture of urea—formaldehyde, phenol—formaldehyde, and melamine—formaldehyde resins, accounting for over one-half (51%) of the total demand (115). These resins find use as adhesives for binding wood products that comprise particle board, fiber board, and plywood. Plywood is the largest market for phenol—formaldehyde resins particle board is the largest for urea—formaldehyde resins. Under certain conditions, urea—formaldehyde resins may release formaldehyde that has been alleged to create health or environmental problems (see Amino RESINS AND PLASTICS). [Pg.497]

Urea—formaldehyde resins are also used as mol ding compounds and as wet strength additives for paper products. Melamine—formaldehyde resins find use in decorative laminates, thermoset surface coatings, and mol ding compounds such as dinnerware. [Pg.497]

Formaldehyde—Alcohol Solutions. These solutions are blends of concentrated aqueous formaldehyde, the alcohol, and the hemiacetal. Methanol decreases the average molecular weight of formaldehyde oligomers by formation of lower molecular weight hemiacetals. These solutions are used to produce urea and melamine resins the alcohol can act as the resin solvent and as a reactant. The low water content can improve reactivity and reduce waste disposal and losses. Typical specifications for commercially available products are shown in Table 7 (117). [Pg.497]

Polymers. AH nitro alcohols are sources of formaldehyde for cross-linking in polymers of urea, melamine, phenols, resorcinol, etc (see Amino RESINS AND PLASTICS). Nitrodiols and 2-hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol can be used as polyols to form polyester or polyurethane products (see Polyesters Urethane polymers). 2-Methyl-2-nitro-l-propanol is used in tires to promote the adhesion of mbber to tire cord (qv). Nitro alcohols are used as hardening agents in photographic processes, and 2-hydroxymethyl-2-nitro-l,3-propanediol is a cross-linking agent for starch adhesives, polyamides, urea resins, or wool, and in tanning operations (17—25). Wrinkle-resistant fabric with reduced free formaldehyde content is obtained by treatment with... [Pg.61]

Titanium alkoxides are used for the hardening and cross-linking of epoxy, siUcon, urea, melamine, and terephthalate resins in the manufacture of noncorrodable, high temperature lacquers in the sol-gel process as water repellents and adhesive agents (especially with foils) to improve glass surfaces as catalyst in olefin polymeri2ation, and for condensation and esterification. [Pg.27]

In the eady 1920s, experimentation with urea—formaldehyde resins [9011-05-6] in Germany (4) and Austria (5,6) led to the discovery that these resins might be cast into beautiful clear transparent sheets, and it was proposed that this new synthetic material might serve as an organic glass (5,6). In fact, an experimental product called PoUopas was introduced, but lack of sufficient water resistance prevented commercialization. Melamine—formaldehyde resin [9003-08-1] does have better water resistance but the market for synthetic glass was taken over by new thermoplastic materials such as polystyrene and poly(methyl methacrylate) (see Methacrylic polya rs Styrene plastics). [Pg.321]

Melamine resins were introduced about ten years after the Beetle molding compound. They were very similar to those based on urea but had superior quaHties. Henkel in Germany was issued a patent for a melamine resin in 1936 (7). Melamine resins rapidly supplanted urea resins and were soon used in molding, laminating, and bonding formulations, as well as for textile and paper treatments. The remarkable stabiHty of the symmetrical triazine ring made these products resistant to chemical change once the resin had been cured to the insoluble, cross-linked state. [Pg.321]

Since melamine resins are derived from urea, they are more cosdy and are therefore restricted to appHcations requiring superior performance. Essentially ad of the melamine produced is used for making amino resins and plastics. [Pg.323]

Formaldehyde. Pure formaldehyde, CH2O, is a colorless, pungent smelling reactive gas (see Formaldehyde). The commercial product is handled either as soHd polymer, paraformaldehyde (13), or in aqueous or alcohoHc solutions. Marketed under the trade name Formcel, solutions in methanol, / -butanol, and isobutyl alcohol, made by Hoechst-Celanese, are widely used for making alcohol-modified urea and melamine resins for surface coatings and treating textiles. [Pg.323]

Uron Resins. In the textile industry, the term uron resin usually refers to the mixture of a minor amount of melamine resin and so-called uron, which in turn is predorninantly N,]S -bis(methoxymethyl)uron [7388-44-5] plus 15—25% methylated urea—formaldehyde resins, a by-product. [Pg.330]

Miscellaneous Resins. Much less important than the melamine—formaldehyde and urea—formaldehyde resins are the methylo1 carbamates. They are urea derivatives since they are made from urea and an alcohol (R can vary from methyl to a monoalkyl ether of ethylene glycol). [Pg.331]

The recovery of fiber from broke (off-specification paper or trim produced in the paper mill) is compHcated by high levels of urea—formaldehyde and melamine—formaldehyde wet-strength resin. The urea resins present a lesser problem than the melamine resins because they cure slower and are not as resistant to hydrolysis. Broke from either resin treatment may be reclaimed by hot acidic repulping. Even the melamine resin is hydrolyzed rapidly under acidic conditions at high temperature. The cellulose is far more resistant and is not harmed if the acid is neutralized as soon as repulping is complete. [Pg.332]

Poly(vinyl alcohol) is employed as a modifier of thermosetting resins used as adhesives in plywood and particle board manufacture (314,315). The polymer is added to urea-formaldehyde or urea—melamine—formaldehyde resins to improve initial grab, to increase viscosity, and, in general, to improve the characteristics of the board. [Pg.488]
