Best Answer

As a polymer the properties are: Urea formaldehyde is rigid, strong, brittle and has a high surface hardness, which makes it scratch resistant. It is also heat resistant, as it is a thermosetting polymer. It has a very low water absorption rate, and it is a good electrical insulator. UF has a high tensile strength and it is opaque.

this is all that i could find, and it is only for AS level resistant materials.

Which moler ratio of urea formaldehyde is best for chipboard?

An improved method for the preparation of particleboard wherein a cellulose-containing particulate material is provided with a urea formaldehyde resin bonding agent and thereafter shaped and hardened at an elevated temperature and pressure. The bonding agent used is a urea-formaldehyde resin solution additionally containing melamine in an amount of 1.0 and 10 percent by weight, relative to the total amount of resin solids. The molar ratio of formaldehyde to mole equivalents of amino groups in the bonding agent is in the range of between 0.500:1 and 0.575:1.


Which plastic would be best for making the casing of a cool-wall toaster?

Expanded Polystyrene - because it is light in weight, floats and has a good heat resistance.ORUrea formaldehyde - because it is rigid, hard, strong, heat resistant, doesn't bend when heated and also has a good electrical insulator.The best is probably Urea formaldehyde.


If the dinnerware does not state 100 Melamine then what other chemicals are combined to manufacture it?

When you purchase melamine dinnerware, make sure you find out whether it is made of 100% melamine. There are a lot of melamine dinnerware manufacturers who use another material called urea-formaldehyde to replace or mix with melamine-formaldehyde to reduce cost. These are inferior quality melamine and it should also be called as imitation products because they are not made of 100% melamine (melamine formaldehyde. 100% melamine tableware are made of purely melamine formaldehye which is guaranteed food safe and able to withstand high temperatures whereas urea-formaldehye is not suitable to for food contact products because they cannot withstand high temperatures. Therefore they can only be used on non-food contact products such as electrical appliances. Therefore, it is not that all melamine dinnerware ares unsafe. It is those inferior quality melamine products (mixed with urea-formaldehyde) that is not safe for manufacturing dinnerware.

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.
