Melamineby
DSM™ plays a vital role in meeting the needs of the furniture,
flooring and construction industries.
It is an important raw material for
impregnating resins for laminates and for making adhesives for
wood-based
panels.
Waterproof melamine adhesives are either used to glue pieces of wood together
to form boards and beams,
or are mixed with woodchips or sawdust and
compressed to form wood-based panels.
Wood-based panels and beams greatly improve the efficient utilization of all
sources of wood,
including waste wood and recycled wood, thus making a
significant contribution to forest conservation.
Wood-based products made using melamine include:
