Urea Resins

The workhorse of amino resin technology, urea resins are used mainly in the wood products industry and are versatile, cost-effective, proven performers. These highly cross-linked thermosetting polymers are primarily made up of urea and formaldehyde, with formaldehyde acting as the cross-linker. The urea-formaldehyde reaction is acid-cured and heat-accelerated to form a rigid, crystalline-like polymer. Urea resins are noted for their:

●Fast cure (as little as 2 seconds, at high temperature)

●Stability

●High strength

●Cost effectiveness

●Versatility

●They are used in numerous applications, such as:

●Wood composites

●Wet laid fiberglass mat

●Decorative laminate paper saturation

●Air filtration

●Coated and bonded abrasives
