- Features
Urochem molding compounds are available in an unlimited range of colors. Produced from Urea-formaldehyde resin and highly refined alpha-cellulose, Urochem molding compounds create scratch-resistant lustrous moldings that are highly resistant to detergents, oils and greases.
As compared to thermoplastics, urea molding compounds exhibit:
- Significantly better surface hardness
- Self-extinguishing flame-resistant characteristics that will not support flame or melt
- Environmentally friendly raw material components that do not contain Halogens, flame-retardant chemicals or organic solvents
- Superior chemical resistance
- Excellent electrical properties, including current tracking and arc quenching
- Availability of antibacterial treated Urochem
- Key Features
- Electrical Properties, Good
- Lubricated
