- dehyde resin
tion of Urea-formal
prepara
: To prepare Urea formaldehyde resin.
AIM:
quoRY: Amino resins are condensation products obtained by the reaction of
fomatdehyde with nitrogen bearing compounds such as aniline, amides for example
elamine formaldehyde, urea formaldehyde etc,
mi
‘ue formaldehyde is prepared by condensation reaction between urea and formaldehyde in
acidic or alkaline medium.
‘The first product formed during the formation of resin is monomethylol and dimethylol ureas.

Polymerization can take place from mono or dimethylol urea or possibly through both, with
the formation of long chains.

Urea formaldehyde resin ( cross-linked polymer )
REQUIREMENTS:
APPARATUS: Beakers, glass rod, funnel, measuring cylinder, filter paper.
CHEMICALS: 40% formaldehyde, Urea, Cone. Sulphuric acid, distilled water.
PROCEDURE:
1. Place about S"Of 40% formaldehyde solution in 100 ml beaker,
2. Add about 2.5 g of urea with constant stirring till saturated solution is obtained.
3. Add a few drops of cone. sulphuric acid with constant stirring,
4. A voluminous white solid mass appears in the beaker,
5. Wash the white solid with water and dry it in the folds of filter paper,
6. Caleulate the yield of the product
RESULT: The yield of urea formaldehyde resin ig gm. pRECAUTIONS:
1, Sulphuric acid should be added drop by drop with constant stirring,
4, White solid mass should be removed immediately as it sticks to the walls of the beaker.
4, The reaction mixture should be stirred continuously,
4, The reaction is sometimes vigorous and it is better to be a few feet away from the beaker
while adding the H2SO, and until the reaction is complete.
