Urea, Melamine & their Glues and Resins

Glues and Resins

BASF, the inventor of Kaurit® and Kauramin® glues, is producing both pMDI as well as urea-based wood binders. The brands Kaurit®, Kauramin® and Lupranat® stand for quality and reliabiliy and the cost-optimized production of wood based panels at any emission class.

BASF continuously invests in Research and Development supporting customers to optimize manufacturing cost in sight of an altering wood mix, stricter regulations and increasing cost pressure. A recent outcome is the newly developed binder technology acForm® which enables the production of moldable fiber boards that are perfectly suited for shaping and embossing technologies.

Urea and Melamine

Melamine and Urea are the main chemical which BTC Europe offers for the adhesive, textile and agricultural industry as well as for paper processing and production of thermosets (duroplastics) in the condensation process offering a wide array of properties requested in the production.

Key applications: 

• For the manufacture of adhesives for upgrading concrete
• Used in the production of particle glues and to produce wood based panels, e.g. OSB-, MDF, and particle boards
• Applied in the manufacturing of surface glues for non-bearing elements
• Used as lamination, windows, doors, concrete form-lining and plywood 
• For load-bearing as timber frame construction
• Is used as impregnating resin for the Laminate Paper processing
