F.A.Q.

Organic compound nitrogenous to three carbon atoms, it constitutes the raw material for the production of special thermosetting resins and of laminate coatings.

It is paper impregnated with melamine resins; it can be of various colors or imitate the wood grains. It is used to coat the chipboard panels, that after such treatment are called melamine panels.

Adhesives which, applied at molten state of high temperatures, will glue thanks to their cooling and to the pressure exerted between the two elements to be glue. They have properties of reversibility because, if reported at temperatures ranging from 60°C to 100°C, they will soften temporarily losing their adhesive strength.

They are resins which exert their adhesive strength thanks to chemical reactions in part activated by the heat. In the furniture industry the most important thermosetting glues are obtained with the combination of formaldehyde and other basic resins. Having substain a chemical reaction, they are irreversible adhesives, so they resist also at high temperatures.

It is a substance used for the production of many adhesives and resins, which then are used during the working of wood panels. Those panels can release into the environment some gaseous formaldehyde molecules. This emission, detrimental to health, is regulated in many countries by specific laws and regulations. In Europe, for example, the current limit is set at 0,1 ppm and the corresponding panel is called E1.
