  2. Urea-formaldehyde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Urea-formaldehyde

    Urea-formaldehyde (UF), also known as urea-methanal, so named for its common synthesis pathway and overall structure, [1] is a nontransparent thermosetting resin or polymer. It is produced from urea and formaldehyde. These resins are used in adhesives, plywood, particle board, medium-density fibreboard (MDF), and molded objects.

    The structure of the molecule of urea is O=C(−NH 2) 2.The urea molecule is planar when in a solid crystal because of sp 2 hybridization of the N orbitals. [8] [9] It is non-planar with C 2 symmetry when in the gas phase [10] or in aqueous solution, [9] with C–N–H and H–N–H bond angles that are intermediate between the trigonal planar angle of 120° and the tetrahedral angle of 109.5°.

    Biotin, a water-soluble B vitamin, is a bicyclic urea.. In chemistry, ureas are a class of organic compounds with the formula (R 2 N) 2 CO where R = H, alkyl, aryl, etc. Thus, in addition to describing the specific chemical compound urea ((H 2 N) 2 CO), urea is the name of a functional group that is found in many compounds and materials of both practical and theoretical interest.

  9. Imidazolidinyl urea - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imidazolidinyl_urea

    Imidazolidinyl urea is produced by the chemical reaction of allantoin and formaldehyde in the presence of sodium hydroxide solution and heat. The reaction mixture is then neutralized with hydrochloric acid and evaporated: 2 + 3 H 2 C=O → . Commercial imidazolidinyl urea is a mixture of different formaldehyde addition products including ...
