Urea Melamine Formaldehyde (UMF) combines the properties from urea formaldehyde and melamine formaldehyde polymers with optimum performance. High resistance to water minimizes water absorption in compact boards. This resin has high resistance to water penetration and moisture and therefore is suitable for the production of panels for exterior use. The powder can be easily mixed with water and used as liquid UMF adhesive. It has higher bonding strength compared to urea formaldehyde adhesives.

Applications

  • Production of plywood, medium density fiberboard (MDF) and furniture.
