Urea-Formaldehyde (UF) Adhesives
Based on the reaction between urea and formaldehyde, these products are commonly referred to as urea-formaldehyde adhesives.
DAAS & Chemicals has chosen to offer only E1-class urea-formaldehyde adhesives, with particular attention to protecting user health.
We offer these adhesives in powder form for dissolution in water. Urea crosslinking occurs in the presence of moisture and heat generated by presses or through chemical activation.
Once cured, the resin is relatively rigid and tough, with good water resistance. Small quantities of vinyl resins may sometimes be added to increase elasticity, such as our GLUOVINIL 2201.
Urea-formaldehyde adhesive is one of the most widely used adhesive technologies in the wood industry, particularly for veneering and the production of particleboard and MDF panels.
