Melamine-Formaldehyde Resin

Melamine-Formaldehyde Resin

(Melamine-Formaldehyde)

 

This plastic is a member of the amino family (which also includes urea) and is probably best known to the public as colorful, rugged dinnerware. However, it also finds use in many household goods, in various electrical applications, and in bonding, adhesives and coatings. products. Melamines offer extreme hardness, excellent colorability and arc-resistant nontracking characteristics. Thermosetting resins formed by the condensation reaction of formaldehyde [HCHO] and melamine [C3N3(NH2)3]. The chemistry is analogous to that of ureaformaldehyde except that the three amino groups of melamine provide more possibilities for cross-linking, are more highly reactive, and all six hydrogen atoms of melamine will react, forming the hexamethyl compound.
