A crosslinking agent composition for water-compatible resins which comprises a hydrophobic crosslinking agent, a water-soluble organic compound, one or more oily media selected from among hydrocarbon-based solvents and ketone-based solvents having a solubility parameter of 9.0 (cal/cm.sup.−3).sup.1/2 or less, and an aqueous medium. The crosslinking agent composition can improve the storage stability of a water-compatible resin composition. The water-compatible resin composition which contains this crosslinking agent composition can give cured objects satisfactory in terms of water resistance and solvent resistance and is suitable also for use in wet-on-wet coating.

A resin system and methods of making resin system wherein lignosulfonate is added to urea-formaldehyde and melamine-urea-formaldehyde adhesives. Lignosulfonate is added to the resins which improves the performance characteristics of the adhesive while reducing environmental impact by consuming byproducts from other industrial processes. The resin system includes a urea-formaldehyde (UF) resin or melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF), prepared in at least two stages wherein the UF resin or MUF resin has a molar ratio (MR) of total moles formaldehyde to total moles urea plus, if present, the one or more melamine compounds of from about 0.25:1 to about 2.50:1, and wherein one or more lignosulfonate compounds are included in an amount of from about 0.1-30 wt. %, based on a total weight of the resin system, and wherein the resin system has a buffer capacity of 2-400 mL of 0.1 N HCl by the ATV Method for a period of time of at least about 20 days at 25° C.
