Resin is essentially a glue typically used in commercial processes. For example a resin is used as the adhesive (glue/resin) that holds the saw dust together to make particle board.
Formaldehyde resin is any resin that uses formaldehyde in production of the resin.
Turns out that formaldehyde resins are cheap and very good and therefore widely used.
Unfortunately, the formaldehyde off-gasses forever and is commonly at high enough concentrations to be a health risk. The State of CA has lowered their recommended concentration of formaldehyde to avoid cancer risks to just 7 ppb (parts per billion). This is actually difficult to achieve and 98% of the CA homes tested exceeded this 7 ppb concentration. The typical home was 27 ppb or four times higher than recommended. Unfortunately, homes especially those that are energy efficient have even higher concentrations of formaldehyde. 100 to 200 ppb is not uncommon.

What is the color of phenol formaldehyde resin after it is prepared?
Phenol Formaldehyde Resin in liquid phase appear as rides brown.
What is the difference between phenolic resin and urea formaldehyde resin?
Phenolic resins are made from chemicals of the phenol group while urea formaldehyde resin are made from urea and formaldehyde. These two resins have different properties.
What are the dangers of Urea-Formaldehyde resin?
It is poisonous
Process to make urea formaldehyde resin?
Compression moulding.
How to manufacture urea formaldehyde resin?
The laboratory preparation of urea-formaldehyde with melamine formaldehyde resin added is meant to modify the urea-formaldehyde resins in order to get good performance with a low formaldehyde emission. The optimal percentage of the melamine resin is 20 percent of the entire solution.
Polyvinyl butyral resin is what kind of resin?
A poly vinyl acetal resin prepared by reacting poly(vinyl alcohol) or poly(vinyl acetate) with an aldehyde such as formaldehyde or butyraldehyde.
Is Melamine formaldehyde a metal?
it is a thermo setting plastic if it is what you asked
What is chemical formula of bakelite?
The chemical name of bakelite is polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride.
How do you increase self life of liquid Phenol-Formaldehyde Resin?
Liquid resols of phenol formaldehyde resin can be stored for longer time. Free formaldehyde needs to be controlled at the end of the reaction. This will be possible by adding formaldehyde scavanegers. The pH of reaction is most important in this regard. Adjust the pH of the PF resin to 7 to 7.5 using acid such as acetic acid to increase in shelf lift. Some resols can be stored up to 6 months below 25 deg C.

What is Urea-Formaldehyde Resin Glue?
this is the poly-condensation reaction of urea and formaldehyde at acidic medium ..this is milky type productive used as adhesive in plywood industry.
How can you make urea formaldehyde resin or adhesive in a college lab?
Yes, if you have the proper base materials.
