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. 6, record 2, English, - melamine%2Dformaldehyde
