Melamine-Resin Properties

1. Melamine-Resin Properties 200 180 Melamine Resin (MER) 160 3-Step Melamine-Meltblown Process 140 120 Melamine-Meltblown Properties • Inherent flame resistance  LOI 32% • Heat resistance  does not burn, non-shrinking, non-melting, non-dripping • Heat dimensional stability  very good • Smoke gas  low and non toxic • Thermal decomposition ~ 400°C • Continuous use temperature 200°C • Maximum use temperature 260 – 370°C • Thermal conductivity  0,028 W/(mK) • Acoustic insulation very good • Fiber finesse down to  ~ 0,5 µm up to 30 μm • UV resistance  excellent • Chemical resistance  very good • Textile processability  good Hot Air Hot Air 100 Innovative Melamine-Meltblown process 80  Thermoplastic processability - processing window: 115 and 150 °C - controlled reactivity and crosslinking - process stability at 130 °C is >> 1 h - tailored rheology at 120 °C • excellent meltability and filament spinning • Thermal crosslinking into thermosets • Cross-linked Melamine-Meltblown has outstanding performance: - no melting; decomposition ~ 400 °C • inherent flame resistance  Easy handling and feeding of resin flakes 60 HCl-Fumigation „adapted“ Melamine Melt-blown Viscosity (Pa*s) Tempering Winding highest tolerable process viscosity 40 20 0 115 130 145 160 175 100 Temperature(°C)
