Abstract
A process of producing melamine formaldehyde resins using crude or impure melamine is described. The process using the impure or crude melamine includes the control of the pH within the range of from about 8 to 10, and preferably 9 to 9.2 during at least the initial stages of the formaldehyde/melamine reaction. The pH control provides resins having commercially acceptable characteristics, with the cook times of the resin formation also being commercially acceptable.
