Request SDS →Melamine-formaldehyde resin (CAS 68002-20-0) is an amino resin formed from melamine and formaldehyde. It is used as a crosslinking agent in industrial coatings, as a binder in laminates and molding compounds, and as a finishing resin in textiles.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is melamine formaldehyde resin used for?
Melamine-formaldehyde resin (CAS 68002-20-0) is an amino resin used as a crosslinking agent in baking and industrial coatings (curing with polyol and acrylic resins), as a binder in decorative and industrial laminates, as a thermoset for molding compounds, and as a finishing resin that adds stiffness and durability to textiles.
How does melamine formaldehyde resin work as a crosslinker?
It is an amino resin formed from melamine and formaldehyde that reacts with hydroxyl- and carboxyl-functional polyol and acrylic resins during baking to form a crosslinked network. This cure builds hardness, chemical resistance, and durability in coatings. It is supplied as a reactive resin for formulators.
What is the CAS number and resin class for this product?
This product is melamine-formaldehyde resin, CAS 68002-20-0, classified as an amino (melamine) resin and registered as a UVCB substance. Under HS it falls in 3909.20 (melamine resins). RawSource supplies it as an industrial intermediate for coatings, laminates, molding, and textile finishing.
What forms and packaging is melamine formaldehyde resin available in?
Melamine-formaldehyde resins are supplied in liquid (solution) and powder forms depending on the application — crosslinker grades for coatings differ from molding and laminate binders. Confirm your end use and we will match the appropriate grade. RawSource ships in bulk with a CoA and SDS per lot.
What is the cost of bulk melamine formaldehyde resin?
Bulk pricing depends on grade, form (liquid or powder), volume, and delivery point. We quote per order rather than listing spot pricing — request a bulk quote and RawSource will return current pricing with the technical data sheet, CoA, and SDS.
