Urea
Formaldehyde (UF) & Melamine Formaldehyde
(MF) / Aminos
Urea formaldehyde (UF) thermosets
are strong, glossy, and durable. They
are not affected by fats, oils esters,
ether, petrol, alcohol or acetone, nor
by detergents or weak acids, and they
exhibit good resistance to weak alkalis.
Their high mechanical strength, heat and
fire resistance, and good electrical arc
and tracking resistance make them an ideal
plastic for numerous industrial and household
applications, from doorknoobs and toilet
seats to electrical components and cosmetics
enclosures.
Melamine formaldehyde (MF) thermoset
plastics are similar to urea molding compounds,
but melamine has even better resistance
to heat, chemicals, moisture, electricity
and scratching.UFs and MF plastics that
have high surface hardness and gloss,
brilliant and precise colors, and light
fastness.
Uses - Melamine formaldehyde (MF)
thermosets are ideal for dinnerware, kitchen
utensils, bathroom accessories, and electrical
components. Some uses include electrical
breakers, receptacles, closures, knobs
and handles, appliance components, adhesives,
coatings and laminates. Melamine was formerly
used for dishware.
