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:

• Lower-emitting Amino Resins
• Emission Reduction Products

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
• Cabinetry
• Countertops
• Laminated flooring
• Molding and millwork
• Composite cores
• Veneer cores

Emission Reduction Products

To reduce emissions even further to ultra-low, "background" levels, we provide:

• Scavenger resins
  • Can be substituted for up to 30 percent of UF or MUF resin solids
  • Effective in lowering emissions to levels below CARB Phase II and EPA TSCA Title VI levels
• Co-reactant technology
  • Additive for UF and MUF resins
• Phenolic resins
  • Can contribute to LEED v.4 credit
  • No urea formaldehyde
  • Tack and cure speed adjusted to meet your application requirements
• EcoBind™ Resin Technology
  • Specifically formulated to meet or exceed global regulatory emission standards
