SYNTHESIS OF MELAMINE-FORMALDEHYDE RESINS MODIFIED WITH N-BUTANOL

Abstract

The article discusses synthetic resins, specifically phenol-formaldehyde, urea-formaldehyde, and melamine-formaldehyde resins, as well as the process of modifying them with n-butanol. Melamine-formaldehyde resins are particularly in demand in the paint and coatings industry, as they improve viscosity and gloss, thereby enhancing product quality.During the modification process, the addition of n-butanol can alter the physicochemical properties of the resins, improving their workability and the quality of the final products. Research results showed that the modified resins exhibit greater stability, higher gloss, and excellent viscosity. This expands their application possibilities in the paint and coatings industry.The findings indicate that modification with n-butanol enhances the properties of the resins, allowing them to meet modern requirements and standards. Therefore, this research is significant for the production of synthetic resins and the improvement of their quality.
