Urea resins, the backbone of amino resin technology, are versatile, cost-effective, and proven performers in the wood products industry.
These resins are the dependable workhorses – versatile, economical, and tried-and-true performers. Comprising highly interconnected thermosetting polymers, they are based on the combination of urea and formaldehyde, with formaldehyde acting as the bonding agent. This fusion, known as the urea-formaldehyde reaction, undergoes an acid-cured, heat-accelerated transformation, giving rise to a robust, crystalline-like polymer.
Urea resins are noted for their:
These flexible resins have various applications, including:
