Butylated melamine formaldehyde resin

Butylated melamine formaldehyde resin (CAS 68002-25-5) is a thermosetting crosslinker used to cure hydroxyl-, carboxyl-, and amino-functional resins in industrial coating and polymer systems.

Where is Butylated melamine formaldehyde resin used?

• Automotive and industrial coatings: crosslinks polyester, alkyd, and acrylic binders for hard, scratch-resistant topcoats with gloss retention
• Textile and leather finishing: crease resistance, dimensional stability, surface durability
• Paper manufacturing: wet-strength and surface-sizing agent
• Adhesives and sealants: cohesive strength and thermal resistance in structural bonding
• Upon heat activation it delivers durable, chemically resistant networks.

Commercial specifications

• Liquid solution in butanol or xylene-based carriers
• Varying solids concentrations
• Technical grade: specifications defined by solids content, viscosity, and free formaldehyde levels
