    1. This is an old (and now pretty obscure) brand name for urea-formaldehyde polymer. It was and is used for a lot of things (in particleboard, foam insulation, and even slow-release nitrogen fertilizer). But its use as a thermosetting plastic resin for housewares faded in the face of competition from more durable polymers.
