English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
  • Textiles: Preparation and Processing
  • Synthetic Fabrics
  • Paints and Varnishes (Industries)
DEF

An amino resin made by the polycondensation of melamine with formaldehyde or a compound that is capable of providing methylene bridges.

OBS

melamine-formaldehyde resin; MF resin : terms and definition standardized by ISO.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
  • Apprêt et traitements divers (Textiles)
  • Textiles artificiels et synthétiques
  • Peintures et vernis (Industries)
DEF

Résine aminique produite par polycondensation de la mélamine avec le formaldéhyde ou un composé susceptible de provoquer des ponts méthylènes.

CONT

Les aminoplastes sont des résines synthétiques polycondensées possédant dans leur molécule le groupement -NH2. Les principaux aminoplastes sont les résines «urée-formol» et «mélamine-formol».

OBS

résine mélamine-formaldéhyde; résine MF : termes et définition normalisés par l'ISO.

OBS

résine de formol-mélamine : terme normalisé par l'AFNOR.

Record 2 2011-03-18

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
Universal entry(ies)
C15H30N6O6
formula, see observation
3089-11-0
CAS number
DEF

A chemical compound which is used as a crosslinking agent for alkyds, epoxies, cellulosics, and vinyls.

CONT

Vial Reactions with Size Exclusion Chromatography(SEC) Analysis. Solutions containing amines, MF resins and p-TSA were heated to cause self-condensation(oligomerization) of the MF resin.... These studies included two MF crosslinkers, Resimene 745(R745) and Resimene 735(R735). R745 is a hexamethoxymethylmelamine(HMMM) and R735 is a high methylol type.

CONT

Crosslinker resins for coil coating materials. ... Amino resins, primarily hexamethoxymethylmelamine resins, are the most commonly used crosslinkers. Their technical strengths lie in their high reactivity with polyols and the high crosslinking density, which is achievable.

OBS

N,N,N’,N’,N’’,N’’-hexakis(methoxymethyl)-1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine: the capital letters "N" must be italicized; form recommended by the IUPAC (International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry).

Record 3 2004-04-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Plastic Materials
CONT

Rigid materials are exemplified by the decorative high-pressure laminates whose integral melamine-formaldehyde surface is harder than conventional varnishes or lacquers.

CONT

Gluing. Urea-Formaldehyde(UF) Resin. Melamine-Formaldehyde(MF) Resin. Phenol-Formaldehyde(PF) Resin. Isocyanate(MDI) Polymer. MF resin is used sparingly for engineered wood products and only in combination to improve the strength of UF-bonded MDF and PB.

CONT

Melamine formaldehyde(MF) thermoset products became leading members of the amino resin family, including urea and thiourea, because of superior properties. MF resins were developed through the 1930s and 1940s in companies such as American Cyanamid, Ciba and Henkel. Early applications, including fabric impregnation and adhesives, were followed by the introduction of moulding powders containing cellulosic fibres, pigments and fillers.

OBS

MF: This might be an in-house or a non-recognized abbreviation; not to be used alone, to avoid any risk of confusion.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matières plastiques
CONT

[Les résines aminées les] plus courantes sont obtenues par la condensation de l'urée ou de la mélamine avec le formaldéhyde. On les identifie par les termes urée formaldéhyde et mélamine formaldéhyde.

CONT

NF EN ISO 14527-1. - Plastiques. - Poudres à mouler à base d'urée-formaldéhyde et d'urée/mélamine-formaldéhyde (UF- et UF/MF-PMC).

OBS

MF : abréviation non officielle; ne pas l'utiliser seule, pour éviter tout risque de confusion.
