UMC (A1) Urea Molding Compound - Cost-Effective Thermosetting Raw Material
Product Detail
The UMC urea molding compound, classified as A1 grade in the amino molding compound series, is a cost-effective thermosetting raw material produced from urea-formaldehyde resin with refined cellulose filler and balanced additives. As the entry-grade complement to our A5 melamine molding compound line, UMC delivers fast curing, stable dimensions and significant material cost savings, making it the practical choice for high-volume production of economical molded parts and tableware lines. It is supplied factory-direct from Panlong's in-house raw material plant with consistent quality and flexible color matching

Basic Composition and Preparation
（1）Main resin: urea and formaldehyde polycondensed into urea-formaldehyde resin
（2）Filler: refined alpha-cellulose to improve strength and toughness
（3）Additives: curing agent, pigments and release agents, controlling color and processing behavior
（4）Appearance: free-flowing powder in white or custom colors, cured into rigid parts under heat and pressure
（5）Grade: A1 in the amino molding compound family - the economical entry grade for cost-sensitive production
Key Characteristics
-
1.A1 grade: cost-oriented raw material for economical product lines
-
2.Fast curing: short molding cycles raise output per press
-

FAQ
Question1 : What is UMC and what grade is it?
UMC (urea molding compound) is a urea-formaldehyde based thermosetting powder, classified as A1 grade in the amino molding compound series. It is a cost-effective raw material for molded plastic parts and economical tableware
Questio2: What is the difference between UMC and MMC?
UMC is the A1 grade; MMC (melamine molding compound) is the A5 grade. A5 MMC has higher heat resistance and is food-grade for hot-food contact; A1 UMC costs less but has lower heat resistance. For food-grade tableware we recommend A5 MMC; for cost-sensitive or non-food-contact products, A1 UMC is the economical choice
Questio3： Can UMC be used to make melamine tableware?
Yes, for economical tableware lines where hot-food contact compliance is not required. For food-grade tableware, use our 99.8% A5 melamine molding compound
Questio4： What colors are available?
Standard white and common colors are available; custom colors can be matched per RAL or Pantone card.
Questio5： Can you provide samples?
Yes, small samples are available for quality testing.
