Urea formaldehyde concentrate (UF 80) / (UF85)
It is an intermediate chemical used for many other derivatives based on the urea-formaldehyde solution. Its long storage time, high solid content, proper fluidity, low water content, and clearness make it an excellent intermediate compound for chemical / industrial purposes.
