This paper reports a comparison of adhesion behavior urea-formaldehyde (UF) with those melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MU) resins in bonding wood by analyzing the results published literatures. For this purpose, UF prepared blending low-viscosity resin (LVR) high-viscosity (HVR) at five different and two formaldehyde/urea (F/U) molar ratios (1.0 1.2) was compared MUF synthesized either simultaneous...

A previous study of synthesizing low mole ratio urea–formaldehyde (UF) and urea–melamine–formaldehyde (UMF) resins, which included an acidic reaction step at the beginning of the typical resin synthesis procedure to obtain higher uron-type methylene–ether group contents, was repeated with the acidic reaction step extended to a higher viscosity. Compared to previous resins, the synthesized resin...

In this part of a series of review articles on formaldehyde-releasers and their relationship to formaldehyde contact allergy, formaldehyde-releasers in cosmetics are discussed. In this first part of the article, key data are presented including frequency of sensitization and of their use in cosmetics. In Europe, low frequencies of sensitization have been observed to all releasers: 2-bromo-2-nit...

The objective of this study was the evaluation feasibility producing particleboard for general use using cotton gin waste generated in Argentina and urea formaldehyde resin. chemical composition size distribution particles ginning residue as well mechanical physical properties particleboards obtained were investigated. Density flexural strength produced with varying levels urea-formaldehyde res...
