MELAMINE/FORMALDEHYDE RESIN COMPOSITION CONTAINING A CONDENSED TANNIN, AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present invention relates to a melamine/formaldehyde (MF) resin composition containing a condensed tannin, and to the use thereof. The resin composition of the present invention, in which 20 wt % or less of condensed tannin is blended into a melamine/formaldehyde resin, is an environmentally-friendly resin composition that reduces the emission of formaldehyde by the condensed tannin, without performing additional processes such as a surface treatment process or the like which might otherwise be performed to reduce formaldehyde. The thus-obtained resin composition of the present invention has superior reactivity between the condensed tannin and formaldehyde, and thus the adhesive force of the resin composition is improved. As the condensed tannin is added in the process for preparing the resin, the effects of the condensed tannin on the reduction of formaldehyde emissions are maintained even after a predetermined period of time elapses. Thus, the melamine/formaldehyde resin composition containing a condensed tannin according to the present invention can be effectively used as a surface material for environmentally-friendly wood, as an adhesive for wood, and as a finishing material for interior architecture.
