摘要

Provided is thermosetting urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin binder formulation modified with a thickener. The formulation preferably has a viscosity in the range of from 3 to 10 cP and a surface tension of from 35 to 50 mN/m, and is preferably prepared from a binder composition exhibiting a viscosity of from 175 to 250 cP.
