Production of water tolerant melamine-urea-formaldehyde resin by incorporation of sodium metabisulphite

The aim of this work was the development of a new MUF resin formulation with high tolerance towards water dilution, and a good overall performance in terms of physico-mechanical properties and formaldehyde emissions. For this purpose, sodium metabisulphite (MTBS) was added during melamine condensati...
