New Light Flame-Retardant Materials of Reinforced Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde (MUF) Foam with Wood Pulp Fiber: Preparation and Properties Evaluation

Abstract:

New composite foams were prepared by using Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde (MUF) resin and wood pulp fiber as raw materials with co-foaming method at 70°C in the opening mould. The study of the composites foam microstructure showed good adhesion between MUF matrix foam and wood pulp fiber. The flame-retardant, mechanical, anti-brittleness and insulation properties of composite foam were excellent. The results indicated that composites had superior properties enough to replace the conventional foam materials.
