## Abstract

The invention relates to a formulation comprising: —a first component which is formed from at least one isocyanate and at least one amino resin, wherein said amino resin is the condensation product of an aldehyde with a compound selected from the group comprising urea, melamine, benzoguanamine, glycoluril, acetoguanamine and mixtures thereof; and —a second component comprising at least one polyether, wherein said polyether comprises at least one ethylene oxide moiety and at least one isocyanate reactive group selected from the group comprising hydroxyl, amino, epoxy, and thiol, preferably hydroxyl.
