Urée-formol : Résine sirupeuse, thermodurcissable par adjonction d'un durcisseur plus ou moins acide. Bien que le mélange puisse durcir à température ambiante, on l'utilise surtout à chaud (vers 100 °C) dans l'industrie de la transformation des bois : fabrication des contre-plaqués, lattés, panneaux de particules, charpentes en lamellé-collé, collage des stratifiés minces sur bois. C'est une colle puissante et économique [...] En isolation thermique, l'urée-formol est utilisée par injection et expansion sous forme de mousse isolante. 7, record 2, French, - r%C3%A9sine%20ur%C3%A9e%2Dformald%C3%A9hyde

Le terme «colle» était à l'origine employé pour un adhésif préparé à partir d'une gélatine dure. Par extension, ce terme est devenu synonyme du terme «adhésif» pour les adhésifs préparés à partir de résines synthétiques.
