The invention belongs to the field of adhesives, and discloses an environment-friendly
urea-
formaldehyde resin adhesive, a preparation method and application thereof. The preparation method comprisesthe following steps: heating a
formaldehyde solution to be 30 to 40 DEG C, adding
urea to perform reaction for 2 to 10min, heating the solution to be 45 to 65 DEG C, then adjusting the pH value of a
system to be 6.5 to 8 through alkali liquor, adding
urea to perform reaction for 20 to 40min, heating the
system to be 85 to 95 DEG C, then stopping heating, adding
ammonium chloride in four lots at the temperature, so as to perform curing reaction, then adjusting the pH value to be 6.5 to 8 through alkali liquor and
ammonia, adding urea to reduce the temperature to be 78 to 85 DEG C, performing reaction for 30 to 50min, starting to heat up when the temperature is reduced to 72 to 76 DEG C, adding
melamine when the temperature is increased to be 82 to 88 DEG C, and performing
thermal reaction for 20 to 40min; adding
thiourea when the temperature is reduced to be 73 to 78 DEG C, and performing
thermal reaction for 5 to 15min; adjusting the pH value to be 9 plus or minus 0.3 through alkali liquor when the temperature is reduced to be 68 to 72 DEG C; adding urea when the temperature is reduced to be 63 to 67 DEG C, performing reaction for 20 to 40min, and cooling the
system to be
room temperature. The environment-friendly urea-
formaldehyde resin adhesive is low in the content of free formaldehyde and high in strength.
