Paper & textile

Melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins increase wear resistance, thus extending the life of paper & textile.

Paper
MF resins also provide wet-strength properties to specialty papers. Melamine-based banknotes (e.g. the euro) can be wrinkled and folded endlessly and still retain a good appearance.

Typical paper applications include:
- Banknotes
- Wallpaper
- Maps

Textile
Wrinkle-free clothing (e.g. men’s trousers and travel wear) use MF-resin coated textiles.

Typical textile applications include:
- Printed textiles
- Wrinkle-free clothing
