Butylated Urea Formaldehyde Resin
Butylated Urea-Formaldehyde Resin(BUF) is a modified product of urea-formaldehyde resin (synthesized by the polycondensation of urea and formaldehyde) throughbutanol etherification. By reacting butanol with the hydroxymethyl groups (-CH2OH) in urea-formaldehyde resin, butoxy-substituted derivatives are formed, enhancing its properties:
- Solubility: Improved solubility in organic solvents (e.g., xylene, alcohols), making it suitable for solvent-based coating systems.
- Stability: Reduced tendency for hydroxymethyl self-condensation, enhancing storage stability.
- Flexibility: Lower brittleness, improving impact resistance of coatings or adhesive layers.
- Compatibility: Better miscibility with other resins (e.g., alkyd resins, epoxy resins).
Key Applications
- Coatings Industry
- Cross-linking Agent: As a type of amino resin, it is combined with alkyd resins, acrylic resins, etc., in high-temperature curing coatings (e.g., automotive topcoats, coil coatings, industrial baking paints) to provide high gloss, hardness, and chemical resistance.
- Wood Coatings: Used in furniture and floor paints to enhance surface wear and scratch resistance.
- Adhesives
- Wood Bonding: Applied in particleboard and plywood production, offering improved water resistance compared to conventional urea-formaldehyde resins.
- Laminated Materials: Provides strong adhesion in composites with paper or fabrics.
- Composite Materials
- Molding Compounds: Serves as a matrix resin for electrical components and automotive parts, enhancing heat resistance and dimensional stability.
- Other Fields
- Inks: Used as a binder to improve weather resistance and adhesion of printed materials.
- Textile Auxiliaries: Acts as a fabric finishing agent to enhance wrinkle resistance and hand feel.
Advantages and Limitations
- Advantages: Low cost, fast curing, high hardness, and solvent resistance.
- Limitations: May release trace formaldehyde; less environmentally friendly compared to water-based or formaldehyde-free resins (e.g., polyurethane, acrylic).
