UFC (urea-formaldehyde concentrate)

Chemical formula

Application in the wood processing industry

In the woodworking industry, KFK acts asintermediate productFor:

• production of urea-formaldehyde resins (UFR);
• synthesis of melamine-urea-formaldehyde resins;
• anti-caking treatment of urea.

Main Application

The main application in the woodworking and furniture industry is the production of:

• plywood;
• chipboards (chipboards);
• other composite wood materials.

Characteristics of the KFK‑85 brand

The most common brand is KFK-85, characterized by the following indicators:

• mass fraction of formaldehyde - 60%;
• mass fraction of carbamide (urea) - 25%;
• the rest is water (according to balance);
• mass fraction of methanol - no more than 0.3%;
• pH range: 7.0–9.5.

Key advantages of using KFK in FSC technology

• elimination of the product concentration stage in the technological process;
• reduction of production costs;
• solving the problem of recycling formaldehyde-containing wastewater, methanol and gas emissions;
• reduction of transport costs up to 40% (compared to the use of formaldehyde);
• reduction in the need for urea by 25%;
• synthesis of low-toxic resins with increased water resistance;
• ensuring emission class E1 for chipboard;
