5. TYEPS OF THERMOSETTING
PHENOL FORMALDEHYDE
UREA FORMALDEHYDE
MALAMINE FORMALDEHYDE
POLYURETHANES
SILICON RESINS
RUBBER

6. UREA FORMALDEHYDE.
IT IS CHEMICAL COMBINATION OF UREA (SOLID CRYTAL OBTAINED FROM AMMONIA) AND FORMALDEHYDE (A IGHLY REACTIVE GAS OBTAINED FROM METHANE
It used  vastly in adhesives, wooden carving, Medium-density fiberboard  electrical components and sometimes molded into objects.IT is also known as urea-methanal.

7. In the plywood industry they are used as adhesives
PREPRATION.
prepared by the condensation polymerization reaction between urea and formaldehyde in neutral or acidic condition.
In the plywood industry they are used as adhesives

8. PROPERTIES Urea-formaldehyde resin’s include-:
·         It has a very high tensile strength.
·         Urea formaldehyde has the property of  flexural modulus.
·         Has the property of heat distortion temperature.
·         Has the capacity of low water absorption.
·         It has the property of mould shrinkage.
·         Has a property of high surface hardness.
·         It can be elongated  at break
·          It is volume resistance in nature.

9. USES
Urea-formaldehyde resins are used mostly as adhesives for the bonding of plywood
ALSO USED IN PARTICLE BOARD, MDF, and molded objects
USED IN MOULDING ELECTRICAL DEVICES
IN AUTOMOBOLE TYRES IN ORDER TO IMPROVE ITS BONDING OF RUBBER

10. ADVANTAGES HIGH IN TENSILE STRENGTH WATER PROOF –LOW WATER ABSORPTION
VOLUME RESISTANT
GOOD ELECTRICAL INSULATOR
SCRATCH RESISTANT SURFACE
DISADVANTAGES
BRITTLE
IT DECOMPOSES IN HIGH HUMID TEMPERATURE WHICH LIMITS ITS USAGE AS AN OUTDOOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

11. SILICON RESINS
Silicon is a natural chemical element. Silicone polymers are derived from silicon and so silicone is a  man-made product derived from silicon a natural element.
Silicon is generally found in solid crystalline form like sand or glass.
Silicone, the product, may be a liquid lubricant, a semi-solid adhesive or a rubber-like plastic polymer
Liquid silicone is often used as a lubricant.
An example of a  thicker form of rubberized silicone  would waterproof sealant used in bathrooms and window fitting.

12. USES
Because silicones can withstand astonishing stress and temperature extremes, they are used in many aspects of aircraft and spacecraft assembly and maintenance.
Adhesives and sealants are used to seal and protect the following from the elements: doors, windows, wings, fuel tanks, hydraulic switches, overhead bins, wing edges, leading gear electrical
In building and construction, silicone sealants, adhesives and coatings make construction materials work better and last longer.
Silicone adhesives bond diverse materials such as concrete, glass, granite, steel and plastics. This enables innovative architecture and engineering, such as dramatic glass facades or curved and suspended structures
Sealants and coatings also protect joints and materials from moisture, heat, corrosion, sunlight, ultraviolet radiation, pollution and other chemicals..

13. DISADVANTAGES ADVANTAGES
Silicone rubber has the ability to resist acids, bases, solvents, chemicals, oils and water.
DISADVANTAGES
High Viscosity
Silicon is also used in making of silicone rubber, which is a polymer used in making of gaskets and insulation. The silicone rubbers are usually bulky and thick in appearance. The rubber has high viscosity and resists the force that allows water to flow easily.
Difficulty in Cleaning
When silicon is used to provide a seal around the base of the toilet to prevent leakages, it is difficult to install and remove, compared with alternative materials such as caulk. When making certain repairs that require lifting the toilet, it takes a long time to clean the silicone.
