melamine
melamine , common name for 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine. Melamine is a trimer (see polymer ) of cyanamide, H 2 NC[triple bond]N, and is synthesized from calcium carbide. It condenses with formaldehyde to give a thermosetting resin . Melamine resins have many uses, including the manufacture of pla... Read more
polyurethanes
polyurethanes , group of plastics that may be either thermosetting or thermoplastic. Polyurethane can be made into both flexible and rigid foams. The flexible foam is often used in furniture and automobile cushions, in mattresses, and for carpet backings. The rigid foam is used for the thermal ins... Read more
Bakelite
Bakelite [for its inventor, L. H. Baekeland ], synthetic thermosetting resin . It has been widely used both alone, to form whole objects, and in combination with other materials, as a laminate or a surface coating. It was used as a substitute for hard rubber, amber, or celluloid; for insulating e... Read more
