• Customizable Formulations – Available in different reactivity and viscosity grades for specific production needs.

Classification

IWG provides several types of Urea Formaldehyde Resin Powders depending on the manufacturing process and press type:

• Standard UF Powder – For general plywood and particleboard production.

• Fast-Curing UF Powder – Ideal for high-speed hot pressing and continuous production lines.

• Low-Formaldehyde UF Powder – Environmentally optimized formulation with reduced emissions for eco-friendly panel production.

Applications

MDF (Medium-Density Fiberboard)

Provides uniform bonding of wood fibers under heat and pressure. Ensures strong internal adhesion and stable mechanical properties for furniture and flooring substrates.

Particleboard

Offers fast curing and strong internal bonding between wood particles. Suitable for high-speed pressing lines and consistent panel density.

Plywood

Provides durable bonds between veneer layers, resulting in high structural strength and dimensional stability. Compatible with both hot and cold press processes.

Veneer Hot Pressing

Delivers fast-setting performance and smooth surface finish for veneer lamination. Ensures reliable adhesion and minimal surface discoloration.

FAQs

Q1: What is the difference between Urea Formaldehyde resin and Phenolic resin?

Urea Formaldehyde resin offers faster curing, lighter color, and lower cost, making it ideal for indoor furniture and decorative panels. Phenolic resin, however, provides superior water and heat resistance, often used for exterior-grade panels.

Q2: How is UF resin powder prepared for use?

The resin powder is mixed with water to form a smooth liquid adhesive before application. Hardener or filler may be added based on process requirements. The mixture should be used within its pot life for best performance.

Q3: Is Urea Formaldehyde resin environmentally friendly?

IWG offers low-formaldehyde formulations that comply with international environmental standards (such as E0 and E1 emission grades), ensuring safer production and use in furniture manufacturing.
