  Melamine Formaldehyde Melamine Formaldehyde resin is a polymer that is formed by condensation between formaldehyde and melamine. The resulting hexa-hydroxymethyl derivative undergoes further condensation and crosslinking, producing melamine resin. Several bifunctional analogues of melamine control the resin's properties, allowing the material to be used for a variety of applications. Some common uses of melamine foam include insulation, soundproofing, and cleaning abrasive. Melamine is also incorporated into flame-retardant materials, like foams and insulators. Its flame-retardant properties are derived from the high content of nitrogen of the compound. When melamine is exposed to heat, it degrades and releases nitrogen, replacing oxygen in surface air and preventing the material from burning. Paints and varnishes contain butylated melamine resin. Moreover, a copolymer of sodium bisulfite, melamine, and formaldehyde creates foams with sound-absorbing properties. The reaction ...
