Description
A class of thermosetting plastics produced by the condensation reaction of an amine, such as Urea, and an aldehyde, such as Formaldehyde. Amino resins, often called aminoplasts, were first made in 1929. Examples of amino resins are melamine formaldehyde and urea formaldehyde. Amino resins are used for molded plastics, coatings, adhesives, laminating, textile finishes, and paper manufacture.
Synonyms and Related Terms
aminoplast; melamine; resina amínica (Esp.); amino-résine (Fr.); résine aminique (Fr.); resina amminica (It.)
Physical and Chemical Properties
Soluble in water until cured with a catalyst.
