Synthesis and Performance of Formaldehyde-free Melamine Resin by Conghao GUI, Nan SUN, Chi ZHANG, Jibo ZHOU

“…Traditional melamine resin retanning agents are limited by the excessive release of formaldehyde, which constrains their applicability in the leather tanning industry. To address this issue, a kind of novel formaldehyde-free melamine resin retanning agent TSP was synthesized by employing cyanuric chloride (TCT) as crosslinking agents, and subsequently reacting with sodium sulfanilate (SE) and hydrolyzed collagen (CH) through a controlled stepwise temperature process. …”
