Melamine Formaldehyde Resin (MF Crosslinker for Wood)
CAS Number: 9003-08-1
Melamine formaldehyde (MF) resin serves as a highly efficient crosslinker for thermosetting acrylic and alkyd baking systems used in wood furniture coatings. It reacts with hydroxyl, carboxyl, and amide groups at elevated temperatures to produce a dense, hard, and chemically resistant coating. MF resins are the standard crosslinker in factory baking wood finishes.
