    AQUEOUS UREA FORMALDEHYDE RESIN

    We are one of the main suppliers of UF Resin which is one of the key ingredients to manufacturing firelighters. We supply resin in 30kg buckets, 285kg drums and 1000L flow bins (1300kg).

    UF resin also have a limited shelf life and therefore we store our resin in refrigeration containers. Our own manufacturing process is very delicate to the quality of resin that we use and as such we always have fresh resin available. Contact us at orders@bri-lite.co.za should you need to acquire resin.

     

    H2 and H8 Hardener

    While we do not use or require H2 and H8 hardener, some of our resin clients do and as such we stock limited quantities of H2 and H8 hardener.
