Melochem Moulding Compound 736
- CAS Number
- 9003-08-01
- Chemical Family
- Melamine Formaldehydes (MF)
Melochem Molding Compound 736 by BI-QEM is a general purpose melamine formaldehyde resin. It is reinforced with high-class cellulose and modified with special purpose additives, pigments, cure regulators and lubricants. It offers good hardness, glossy surface with excellent scratch and chemical resistance. It provides resistance against surfactants and weak bases. The molded products can be recycled and exhibit good light stability and low water absorption properties. It is designed for processing by injection molding. Melochem Molding Compound 736 is recommended for dinnerware jugs, ladles and bowls. It is also suitable for electrical applications and provides heat resistance and abrasion resistance. Its shelf life is of 12 months
