DEF

Having the property of becoming permanently hard and rigid when heated or cured.

CONT

Since the conversion of a linear polymer to a network polymer is often caused by heating with a cross-linking agent such as sulphur, the process is called thermosetting.

CONT

... thermoset moulding compounds.

OBS

Thermosetting resin: ... a resin that will permanently cure a fabric through heat application.

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).
