Melamine tableware is stable and not brittle, not hot, bright and diverse colors, beautiful appearance. Porcelain tableware, many parents see these advantages, are for children, and can be seen everywhere in snack bars outside. Porcelain imitation tableware is also called melamine tableware. The national standard is called melamine-formaldehyde resin tableware. It is a polymer material made of melamine and formaldehyde polymerization. So what are melamine tableware made of? It has these features! Take a look!
What are melamine tableware made of?
1. Some people can’t stand melamine and formaldehyde. Isn’t this substance known to everyone? Why even make cutlery? Melamine monomer is less toxic, and after polymerization with formaldehyde and other substances, the finished product is non-toxic. After the fake ceramic tableware material is polymerized, it has good heat resistance and chemical stability. The melamine resin material that meets the requirements contains a small amount of melamine, which meets the safety standards stipulated by WHO.
2. In food, formaldehyde is an intermediate product of plant metabolism. Fruits, vegetables, fish, shellfish and other foods contain formaldehyde, up to hundreds of milligrams per kilogram. It is only harmful to the human body when the air concentration reaches a certain concentration. Therefore, as long as qualified imitation porcelain tableware is used normally, there will be no health problems.
What are the characteristics of melamine meal?
1. Melamine tableware is an imitation porcelain product, which is more resistant to falling than ceramics. Nowadays, fast food restaurants have automatic dishwashers, and it is very simple to clean melamine tableware, including many chopsticks, which are made of melamine. Compared with plastic products, whether it is PC, PP and other materials, melamine materials have higher gloss and better health:
2. Melamine tableware is resistant to high temperature, has excellent performance between -20°C and +120°C, is lightweight and beautiful, resistant to low temperature (can be placed directly in the refrigerator), resistant to high temperature (can be boiled in boiling water), resistant to pollution, not easy to break , used in the catering and children’s catering industry.
3. Melamine tableware is formaldehyde and melamine polymer. Melamine resin at room temperature is not cured, and usually needs to be cured at a temperature of 130~150℃. By adding a small amount of acid as a catalyst, the vulcanization reaction can increase the rate of vulcanization.
4. Melamine tableware is used in catering (fast food) chains, food plazas, university (university) restaurants, hotels, corporate canteens, advertising gifts, etc. Melamine tableware is not suitable for microwave ovens and is prone to cracking.
