The TAPPI NET division will host a webinar, Crosslinking Resin Chemistry for Nonwoven and Paper Applications, on Tuesday, August 19, at 12:00 p.m. EST. This webinar, presented by John Jacquin, new business development manager at Ineos Melamines, is presented by the division’s Binders & Additives Committee and is free to attend.

This presentation will focus on the chemistry of thermoset resin crosslinkers used in nonwoven and paper applications. In particular, amino resins, including urea-formaldehyde and melamine-formaldehyde resins, as well as phenol-formaldehyde resins will be discussed. The key attributes of crosslinking the latex resin will be reviewed. The general advantages and disadvantages of the thermoset systems with respect to binding and coating applications will be compared.
