Shreebond BU-8 LF – Low Free Formaldehyde Butylated Urea Resin for Safer, Fast-Cure Coatings

Shreebond BU-8 LF – Low Free Formaldehyde Butylated Urea Resin for Safer, Fast-Cure Coatings

SHREEBOND BU-8 LF is a low free formaldehyde butylated urea formaldehyde resin designed for thermosetting coating systems that demand both fast cure performance and lower emissions. It offers the same advantages as BU-8—quick drying, film hardness, and compatibility—while helping meet global compliance standards for formaldehyde content.

BU-8 LF is ideal for general industrial primers, metal coatings, and protective paints where operator safety, regulatory compliance, and cost-efficiency are all priorities.
