Binding Resins for Particleboard and Fiberboard
We at Hexion are continually pioneering new solutions with the goal of providing particleboard and fiberboard manufacturers with a wide variety of options and benefits. We offer a range of products to meet the latest formaldehyde emission standards while delivering the highest performance. These include:
Amino Resins
For manufacturing particleboard and fiberboard used in interior applications, we offer urea formaldehyde (UF), melamine-urea formaldehyde (MUF) and hybrid melamine-urea-phenol formaldehyde (MUPF) resins. Options include:
- Standard UF resins
- MUF resins including Type I high moisture-resistant systems
- Resins that can be used to be CARB Phase II and EPA TSCA Title VI compliant
- Liquid meter-mixed systems
Typical applications are:
- Furniture
