In the production of melamine impregnated paper for overlaying under the condition of low pressure and short cycle, the solidification of melamine formaldehyde （MF） resin causes impregnated paper fragile and easy to break. To solve the problem, it was proposed to use butylglycol monoether to enhance the plasticity of melamine formaldehyde resin. The application of butylglycol monoether in impregnated paper production was also introduced.
