Quite a lot, it's a thermosetting resin which is used in adhesives, textiles, laminates, moulded objects and much more.

It's also used in foam insulation and as a Nitrogen release control in Agriculture and Forestry.

How is urea manufactured industrially?

It is through one reaction which releases heat and another which absorbs it that urea is synthesized in industry.Specifically, the first reaction involves ammonia and carbon dioxide. The energy release results in the formation of ammonium carbamante. The second reaction will break above-mentioned compound down into urea and water.


Is it nuclear industry was a type of chemical industry?

The nuclear industry is linked to chemical industry but it is more complex: metallurgy, mechanics, nuclear physics, chemistry, etc.


Why is phenol formaldehyde used?

Phenol formaldehyde adhesives are generally hot press adhesives used extensively in the manufacture of plywood and other wood products such as flakeboard, oriented strand board and laminated veneer lumber. The reason it dominates this market is its relatively low cost, ability to achieve high quality bonds rapidly with the application of heat, and for its durability that equals or exceeds wood, when exposed to severe service environments.


Is uranium used in the petroleum industry?

Uranium is not used in the petroleum industry.


Melting point of Phenol formaldehyde?

Because phenol formaldehyde is a resin it is usually a mixture of chain lengths and cross linking. For this reason, you would not expect it to have a fixed melting point - rather it would usually have either a melting point range or a decomposition temperature (depending on the structure). As an example, the company Polyols and Polymers lists the melting point range of their POLYTONE PF 201 product as 700C-850C while their POLYTONE AP 132 product has a "softening point" of 970C-1100C but no melting point. Bakelite - which is one of the many types of phenol formaldehyde resin - is a thermosetting plastic which has no melting point; it has a decomposition point. As an example, the Bakelite manufactured by Jiacheng-Chem Enterprises Ltd. has a listed decomposition point range of 240~ 280°C. Again, because it is a mixture of polymer sizes and degree of cross linking, it doesn't have just one fixed temperature; it has a range over which the many different molecules will decompose. The temperatures under which phenol formaldehyde will melt, soften, or decompose are also affected by the amount of residual monomers still present in the polymer matrix.

What are the uses of urea formaldehyde?

Urea-formaldehyde is a non-transparent thermosetting resin or plastic, made from urea and formaldehyde.It used in adhesives, finishes, Medium-density fiberboard (MDF), electrical components and sometimes molded into objects. Urea-formaldehyde is also known as urea-methanal. Because it is formed by chemical reactions with formaldehyde is can be an environmental hazard and there is particular concern regarding indoor air quality. Virtually all modern houses and buildings will have some material made with urea formaldehyde. The problem occurs when the chemical reactions involved in manufacture do not completely use the formaldehyde chemical. This has been a serious problem in the past when production processes were shoddy. It is part of the air quality standards of the US Environmental protection Agency.
