Abstract:
Manufacture of impregnating urea/formaldehyde resins in which, in order to achieve particularly high rates of impregnation, urea and formaldehyde are condensed in acid solution until waterincompatibility commences, whereupon the mixture is treated with formaldehyde followed by urea.
Abstract:
A PROCESS FOR IMPROVING THE FLOWABILITY OF AMINOPLAST FOAMS PRIOR TO CURING, PARTICULARLY FOR COVERING SOIL, BY INCORPORATING COARSE GAS BUBBLES INTO FOAM CONTAINING FINE BUBBLES.
Abstract:
A urea-formaldehyde resin is formed by (a) reacting formaldehyde and urea of an initial molar ratio of >=3, in an aqs. soln., pH 3, until 1% of the urea has reacted to form urone gps., or by reacting as above during a time t = 10pH-2 (between 90-100 degrees C), (b) adding urea to the obtd. prod., at pH=3, such that the polar ratio HCHO:urea is 2-2.75 and condensing until the aqs. soln. of the condensate is no longer indefinitely dilutable in water at room temp., and (c) concentrating or evaporating the soln. formed to give a prod. contg. HCHO and urea in a molar ratio 1-2.75. The resin is used partic. in the mfr. of plywood and has a reduced tendency to evolve free HCHO.
