What's Melamine impregnated paper

Melamine impregnated paper Product Overview

Melamine impregnated paper, also known as “melamine” paper, is a type of adhesive paper that has been impregnated with amino resins (including melamine formaldehyde resin and urea formaldehyde resin) and dried to a certain extent, possessing a certain resin content and volatile content.

This paper can be thermally pressed to bond with other sheets or with artificial board substrates, and is widely used in the manufacturing of flat-packed furniture.

Main Indicators

Impregnation Amount: The solid resin in the impregnated paper, expressed as a percentage (%).

Volatile Content: The content of volatiles (mainly moisture and other small molecules) in the impregnated paper, expressed as a percentage (%).

Pre-curing Degree: The curing degree of the resin in the impregnated paper, expressed as a percentage (%).

Melamine impregnated paper Production Process

Melamine impregnated paper Production Process
  1. Resin Preparation: Prepare amino resins.
  2. Resin Mixing: Add curing agents, release agents, penetrants, and dusting agents to the resin.
  3. First Impregnation: Soak the paper in a mixture of melamine formaldehyde resin and urea formaldehyde resin.
  4. First Drying: Dry the impregnated paper.
  5. Second Impregnation: Coat the paper with melamine formaldehyde resin to form an abrasion-resistant layer.
  6. Second Drying: Dry the paper again.
    Cooling and Cutting: Cool and cut the dried paper, ready for the next production process.

Development History

Melamine impregnated paper was initially widely used in flat-packed furniture, mainly produced using low-pressure short-cycle pressing methods.

With technological advancements, synchronized patterned panels produced in conjunction with steel plate wood grain have become popular due to their excellent three-dimensional texture.

In recent years, the production of high-gloss panels through low-temperature long-cycle pressing has further enriched the product range.

To meet environmental requirements, especially the demand for formaldehyde-free products, melamine impregnated paper is also coated with water-based polyurethane resin after printing ink, to provide scratch resistance and enhance plasticity.

Product Advantages

  • Attractive appearance, enhancing the value of use.
  • Improved physical properties, expanding the scope of application.
  • Increased value of artificial boards.
  • Simplified production process of artificial boards, avoiding complex processes such as spraying and painting.
  • With the depletion of wood resources and the increasing demand for wood products, melamine impregnated paper is expected to gain even wider application and development in the 21st century.

conclusion

Melamine impregnated paper, as an efficient and environmentally friendly surface decorative material, not only enhances the aesthetics and durability of artificial boards but also streamlines the production process, aligning with the modern furniture manufacturing industry’s demands for efficiency, environmental protection, and sustainable development.

It is anticipated that this product will occupy a significant position in the artificial board market and continue to drive the development and innovation of related industries
