Food Grade Melamine Moulding Compound Powder

Melamine powder is the abbreviation of melamine formaldehyde resin. It is a raw material for thermosetting plastics.

The "melamine tableware" we often talk about in our daily life (such as melamine-like bowls, plates, trays, etc.) is made by pressing this powder under high temperature and high pressure.

    Main Features and Advantages

    Products made from melamine powder possess many excellent properties, making them highly suitable for use in tableware and daily necessities:

    1. Exquisite appearance: The surface is smooth like porcelain, capable of printing various bright and realistic patterns, with excellent texture.

    2. Lightweight and durable: It is not easily broken, and is more resistant to drops than ceramic and glass tableware. Moreover, it is much lighter in weight.

    3. Good heat resistance: It can withstand temperatures ranging from approximately -30℃ to 120℃. It is suitable for holding hot food and beverages (but it is generally not recommended for direct heating in a microwave oven or direct barbecuing with open flames).

    4. Easy to clean: The surface is dense, leaving little chance for stains to remain, and the cleaning process is convenient.

    5. Low cost: Compared to ceramics, the production cost for large-scale production is much lower.

    FAQ 

    Question1What are the differences between melamine powder and melamine resin?

    Melamine powder: It is the raw material of melamine formaldehyde resin and is in powder form. Melamine resin: It is a thermosetting plastic formed by curing melamine powder under high temperature and high pressure. It has characteristics such as high temperature resistance and scratch resistance.

     

    Question2Is the food-grade melamine powder itself safe? Will the tableware made from it release harmful substances?

    Qualified food-grade melamine powder is inherently safe.Use within the safe temperature range (-30℃ to 120℃).

     

    Do not store strong acids, strong bases, or high-oil foods (such as boiling chili oil or vinegar-soaked foods) for a long time. Do not place in a microwave oven / oven for heating.

     

    If beyond this range, the resin structure may be damaged and trace amounts of melamine or formaldehyde may be released.

     

    Question3Will melamine powder produce toxic gases during the processing? What precautions should be taken during operation?

    During the heating and molding process of melamine powder (such as for making tableware), if the temperature is not controlled properly (exceeding 180℃) or the resin is not fully cured, formaldehyde gas (with a pungent smell) may be released.

     

    Therefore, during the processing, one should be cautious:

    The equipment should be equipped with a good ventilation system to prevent gas accumulation.

     

    Operators must wear protective equipment (such as gas masks, protective glasses, and gloves) to prevent inhaling the gas or powder and coming into contact with the skin.

     

    Strictly control the molding temperature (typically 150℃ to 170℃) to ensure complete resin curing and minimize gas release.

     

    Question4What should be noted when storing and transporting melamine powder?

    Storage: It should be stored in a cool and dry place, avoiding direct sunlight, proximity to fire sources or high-temperature environments.

    the packaging must be sealed to prevent moisture absorption and caking (caking may affect processing performance).

    Transportation: Must be protected against moisture and pollution, and should not be mixed with food.

     

    Question5How are our products packaged?

    Our products are packed with two layers. The outer layer is a kraft paper bag, and the inner layer is a plastic bag. This double-layer packaging ensures better protection and the safety of the products during transportation.
