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.

Some people have a contact allergy to imidazolidinyl urea causing dermatitis. [3] Such people are often also allergic to diazolidinyl urea. In addition to being an allergen, it is a formaldehyde releaser, since it generates formaldehyde slowly as it degrades. Although the formaldehyde acts as a bactericidal preservative, it is a known carcinogen.

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 ...
Methylol urea is the organic compound with the formula H 2 NC(O)NHCH 2 OH. It is a white, water-soluble solid that decomposes near 110 °C. Methylolurea is the product of the condensation reaction of formaldehyde and urea. As such it is an intermediate in the formation of urea-formaldehyde resins [1] as well as fertilizer compositions such as ...
