Patent number: 4604448Abstract: A moulding composition which forms stable, durable mouldings which are color stable, have good water resistance and can be glass clear and fire-resistant, comprises a melamine-formaldehyde resole of mole ratio melamine:formaldehyde in the range 1:1.1 to 1:5.0, and from 20 to 80% by weight, based on the resole, of a glycol or glycol derivative. The composition may also contain one or more of water, polyvinyl alcohol, aluminium hydroxide and reinforcing fillers. The melamine in the resole may be partially replaced with urea. Cure of the resin composition, after shaping, takes place at a pH of at least 6.0, and is accelerated by boron oxide and also by microwave heating. Foamed products are especially useful.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 1985Date of Patent: August 5, 1986Assignee: Polymer Tectonics, LimitedInventors: Robert Farkas, Lothar M. Hohmann

Patent number: 4585827Abstract: Textile treating agent for imparting crease resistance is made by mixing 1 mol glyoxal, 2 mols formaldehyde, 1 mol urea and 1.5 mol ethylene glycol and reacting the mixture first at pH 6 to 7 at 60.degree. C. and then at pH 3 at 60.degree.. The product is found to have more stable formaldehyde release properties in textile treating baths as pH of the bath is varied in the range from about 3.0 to about 4.5.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 1984Date of Patent: April 29, 1986Assignee: American Cyanamid CompanyInventor: Kenneth H. Remley

Patent number: 4536245Abstract: A melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin characterized by a low rate of formaldehyde emission when cured. Made by a process where the initial reaction mixture has an F/U molar ratio of from about 3:1 to about 1:1, and undergoes a methylolation reaction at an alkaline pH. Preferably at least some of the melamine is present in the initial reaction mixture. The subsequent condensation is at a substantially neutral pH. Has a final F/U molar ratio of 1.3:1 to 0.9:1, a final F/Ueq molar ratio of 1.3:1 to 0.7:1, and a melamine content of from 0.15% to 40% by weight, dry solids basis. Useful for adhesive purposes, particularly as a particleboard binder characterized by low emission rate.Type: GrantFiled: October 11, 1983Date of Patent: August 20, 1985Assignee: Borden, Inc.Inventors: David W. Shiau, Eric Smith
