PROCESS FOR PREPARING THERMOSETTING UREA FORMALDEHYDE RESINS AND THEIR USE FOR IMPREGNATING AND/OR COATING SUPPORTING WEBS OF WOOD-BASED BOARDS

A method for preparing thermosettable urea-formaldehyde resins having a urea to formaldehyde molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.5 wherein urea and formaldehyde are first reacted in an aqueous solution at a molar ratio of 1:1.5 to 1:4 in the pH range between 7.5 to 10, and then condensing the reactants in a p...

Zusammenfassung:A method for preparing thermosettable urea-formaldehyde resins having a urea to formaldehyde molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.5 wherein urea and formaldehyde are first reacted in an aqueous solution at a molar ratio of 1:1.5 to 1:4 in the pH range between 7.5 to 10, and then condensing the reactants in a pH range from 4 to 6 to a precipitation number of 1:1.5 to 1:10, thereafter adjusting the pH to 7 to 10 and adding the remaining urea to obtain a molar ratio of 1:1 to 1:1.5 and continuing the reaction until a precipitation number of 1:0.5 to 1:3 is obtained. The products obtained have a uniform molecular weight and good penetration properties when used to impregnate supporting webs for coating wood-based panels.
