Melamine resin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melamin resin or melamine formaldehyde (also incorrectly, melamine) is a plastic material made from melamine and formaldehyde by polymerization. This plastic is often used in kitchen utensils or plates (e.g. Melmac) and is the main constituent in high pressure laminates such as Formica and Arborite and of laminate flooring. Melamine tile wall panels can also be used as whiteboards. Melamine resin is often directly laminated onto particle board; the resultant panel is often referred to just as "melamine" and is frequently used in ready-to-assemble furniture and inexpensive kitchen cabinets.
A special form of melamin resin is melamine foam, used mainly as a cleaning material.
