QO Furfuryl Alcohol Modifier of Urea Formaldehyde Resins Furfuryl alcohol (FA®) has a marked effect on urea formaldehyde resins—improving gap-filling properties, craze resistance, stability to heat and aging. Furthermore, the addition of furfuryl alcohol can improve the relationship between pot life and curing speed of urea formaldehyde resins. When catalyzed and buffered to give equivalent pot life, the FA modified resin cures in about half the time required for the unmodified; when the resins are adjusted to have the same cure time, the FA modified resin has a pot life nearly 3 times as long. A marked improvement! AND,
furfuryl alcohol remains as part of the cured resin solids. Glue manufacturers use furfuryl alcohol to make gap-filling adhesives based on urea formaldehyde resins. And, too, they get glues that are flexible, resist crazing and deterioration upon aging. Other plus values include reduced shrinkage and the assurance of enduring bond under varying conditions of pressure, temperature and glue line thickness. We suggest you see what furfuryl alcohol can do for you. Write for Bulletin 205.
