Abstract
Process for the preparation of monomeric methylolmelamine which is partially etherified with methanol or ethanol and which contains at least 4 moles of formaldehyde per mole of melamine, by reacting melamine, paraformaldehyde and methanol or ethanol in a single stage reaction, the molar ratio of melamine to formaldehyde to alcohol being 1:5 to 10:6 to 20, in a virtually anhydrous medium, under a nitrogen atmosphere, at a pH of 7 to 8 and a temperature from 50.degree. to 90.degree. C. and with a reaction time of from 3 to 30 hours.
