<p>Melamine thermoset resins with low formaldehyde volatiles display a remeltable solid phase, a liquid phase, and a cured solid phase. These resins are formulated from melamine, glycerol as a cross-linker, polyvinyl acetate homopolymer, and sucrose as a formaldehyde scavenger in an aqueous solvent. Optional ingredients for controlling the resin adhesive's crosslinking and/or curing rate include ethylene glycol, a pH buffering system such as citric acid/sodium diacetate, and an amine block sulfonic acid salt. The compositions are particularly useful as resins for coatings, saturations, and bonding of synthetic fibers into fabric mats, and display thermal stability and rigidity at temperatures ranging up to 370 °C.</p> |
