Abstract:
The present invention relates to a melamine-formaldehyde foam comprising microspheres having a core comprising at least one active and/or effective substance selected from the group consisting of inorganic compounds, latent heat accumulators, flame retardants, surfactants, detergents, dyes, fragrances, biocidally acting substances, intumescents, hydrophobicizing agents, adhesives, substances influencing haptics or the soil release behavior, formaldehyde scavenger, substances improving indoor air quality, skin care products and formulations, abrasives and mixtures thereof and having a shell comprising at least one melamine-formaldehyde resin, a process for their preparation and to the use thereof.
Abstract:
A process for producing a melamine-formaldehyde foam by heating and foaming an aqueous mixture M using microwave radiation, said mixture M comprising at least one melamine-formal-dehyde precondensate, at least one curative, at least one surfactant, at least one blowing agent and at least one linear polymer with a number average molecular weight Mn in the range from 500 to 10.000 g/mol and at least two functional groups selected from OH, NH2 or COOH as well as a melamine-formaldehyde foam obtainable by this process and its use.
