Urea Formaldehyde - UF Urea Foam

Advantages

Higher maximum operating temperature, better dielectric constant, tracking resistance and dimensional stability compared with cellulose filled urea formaldehyde.

Disadvantages

Lower HDT, tensile strength and flexural modulus; higher water absorption and mould shrinkage; lower surface hardness, elongation at break and volume resistance compared with cellulose filled urea formaldehyde.
