UF – Reaction Stages
Two Major Stages in Urea -Formaldehyde Reaction:
1. Methylolation (Electrophilic Substitution)– Initial reaction from mixing urea with formaldehyde – First step in the resin manufacturing process– Exothermic part of the resin manufacturing process– Not much MW or viscosity build
2. Condensation– Secondary reaction from mixing urea with formaldehy de– MW and viscosity build during this stage– Water is lost with the formation of ether or methyl ene linkages– Ether linkages are more water soluble, methylene li nkages are not– The higher MW, the lower resin water dilutability
![Page 6: Basic UreaBasic Urea- ---Formaldehyde Formaldehyde Resin ... · – Secondary reaction from mixing urea with formaldehyde – MW and viscosity build during this stage – Water is](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022013008/5e540481978e1462715fd31d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

• UF resins are designed for the underlying application, and usually for a specific customer
• Majority of UF is used in wood applications -composites, particleboards, etc.
• Big volume is also used in glass mat / nonwovens production. Resin could be used:
• Alone• As a major component of a binder system• As a minor component/cross linker in the binder with
thermoplastic resins for specialty applications

1. Molar Ratio• MR range in UF is 0.6 – 2.0• The higher MR, the faster cure• The higher MR, the higher emissions
2. pH• Resin buffer capacity• Catalyst system• Additives in the system – e.g. latexes
3. Molecular size• In general, larger molecules, faster cure• Size of molecules has impact on viscosity

Compatibility with Latex
UF chemist can make resin more compatible with latex by adjusting:
• Resin's Molecular Weight
• MR
• Selecting components and additives
• Designing the right buffer capacity of the resin to match or enhance the latex properties

• Aging mechanism of U-F resins depend on the • Final Formaldehyde/Urea molar ratio, • Storage pH• Free urea in the resin
• Aging of U-F resins involve• Changes in resin structure
• Initial increase in linear methylol groups• Subsequent decrease in linear methylol groups• Corresponding increase in linear methylene groups• Minor changes in branched methylol and methylene gr oups• Decrease in free urea
• Increase in bulk viscosity• Decrease in absolute molecular weight• Decrease in cure speed• Decrease in ultimate bond strength

6/1/2010 26
• Although bulk viscosity is an important parameter used to monitor process ability of the resin, it does not provide a measure of resin performance upon aging
• The increase in bulk viscosity as resins age probably results from associative forces such as hydrogen bonding.
• Decrease in cure speed is related to decrease in molecular weight and methylol content rather than an increase in methylene content .

Composition Guidelines� Acrylics (BA, EA, EHA, MMA) for UV resistance.
� MMA exceptional. � EHA for water resistance.
� Styrene(St) for Water/alkalai Resistance (hydrophobic)� Degrades over extended exposure to UV.
� Acrylonitrile (AN) for Solvent Resistance(hydrophillic)� Discolors under UV (unsaturation).
� Vinyl Acetate (VA) Low Cost � Hydrolyzes � Degrades under UV

What does a binder need to do in industrial mat applications?
• Bind fibers• Provide structural integrity
– Dimensional stability and strength• Initially during manufacturing of mat product• In final composite
• Provide processability and product integrity– Resistance to:
• Solvents• Plasticizers• Petroleum based materials
• Provide application appropriate feel– Stiffness– Flex

Product VariabilityProduct Variability
� The term “product variability” refers to both the amount of variability in product that meets specification along with out-of-spec product.
� This characteristic is also important in hidden, or non-delineated specifications.

A Fundamental ProblemA Fundamental Problem
� Most roll goods manufacturers use the concept of product “in-spec” as compared with product “in control.”
� There are several problems with this philosophy:

Internal ProblemsInternal Problems
1. The entire spec (and more) is used to ship product to customers.
2. Assignable causes are not usually recognized until bad product is made.
3. Current inspection acceptance procedures assure that some level of out-of-spec product will be shipped.
4. Current inspection techniques are nearly always statistically invalid.

Dangerous perceptions
1. If I deliver product that meets specification, my customers will be happy.
2. If I provide poor product or poor service, my customers will tell me.

Customer ComplaintsCustomer Complaints
� 50% of all customers experiencing a problem never complain to anyone.
� Of those who complain, 45% complain only to frontline personnel who either fail to escalate the problem up to management and/or mishandle solving the problem.
� Only 5% voice the problem to management

Roll Goods vs. Piece Parts OverviewRoll Goods vs. Piece Parts Overview
1. Product variability is integrated in both the cross and machine directions.
2. Test values may be correlated in the cross and/or machine directions.
3. Multiple populations may well be manufactured over time.

PSM Concepts & ApplicabilityPSM Concepts & Applicability
• Should some concepts of PSM be applied in all industries?
• Are codes enough?
• Should we accept the notion that suppliers always know their process and equipment better than us?
• Should we view combustion as something more than a mundane, ubiquitous process?

ConclusionsConclusions• Failure to manage change:
– Due to flame instability at low fire, dP was reduced first by relief valve, then by trim damper
– Fan curve truncated resulting in multi-point dP
– Allowed trim damperto seek low flow position

• We are not measuring meaningful parameter– Combustion air pressure limits do not
mean we have sufficient air for combustion!
• We assume linkage will not slip or bind– Linkage slip has happened!

• How about measuring combustibles in the exhaust?
• Can we make them reliable enough to preclude the need for venting?– ASME Code Case 2211?– SIL 1 or 2 needed?
