Resorcinol-Formaldehyde (R-F) Resin

Structure formation in urea-formaldehyde resin synthesis

The structure formation in acid promoted polycondensation and particularly in alkaline post-treatment with urea was studied by 13C NMR spectroscopy in the three-step synthesis of ureaformaldehyde resins. Trishydroxymethyl urea was identified as the constituent of the mixture of hydroxylmethylated urea derivatives obtained in alkaline conditions. The formation of methylenes linked to secondary o...

Resorcinol-formaldehyde resin "Russian Red" endodontic therapy.

Resorcinol-formaldehyde resin is a material used in endodontic therapy in many foreign countries. With immigration to the United States increasing, American dentists need to become familiar with resorcinol-formaldehyde therapy. It contains two potentially toxic components, formaldehyde (liquid) and resorcinol (powder). Zinc oxide or barium sulfate may be used for radiopacity. When 10% sodium hy...

Occupational asthma due to formaldehyde resin dust with and without reaction to formaldehyde gas.

We report the cases of three subjects who developed asthma after being exposed to formaldehyde dust or gas. For two subjects, specific bronchial provocation tests with formaldehyde gas did not cause significant bronchoconstriction, whereas exposure to formaldehyde resin dust did. One subject experienced asthmatic reaction after being exposed to formaldehyde resin dust and gas. These findings su...
