Melamine tableware is favored by more and more consumers, especially parents, because it is lighter and more resistant to falls than glass and ceramic tableware, making it ideal for children. However, some substandard amine products have been reported to have melamine migration exceeding standards, which has consumers very concerned. So what are the advantages of melamine meal? It should pay attention to these matters! Take a look!
What are the advantages of melamine meals?
1. Melamine tableware is an imitation porcelain product, which has the advantage of being more resistant to falling than ceramics. Now that fast food restaurants have automatic dishwashers, cleaning amine tableware is relatively simple, including many chopsticks now made of amine. Compared with plastic products, whether it is PC, PP or other materials, the gloss and health of amine materials are relatively good.
2. Melamine tableware has good temperature resistance, excellent performance between -20℃~+120℃, light and beautiful, low temperature resistance (can be directly put into the refrigerator), cooking resistance (can be cooked with boiling water), pollution resistance , not easy to break, used in the catering industry and children’s catering industry.
3. Melamine tableware is a polymer polymer, and the monomers are formaldehyde and melamine. Amine resins do not cure at room temperature and generally need to be thermally cured at 130~150°C. Studies have shown that adding a small amount of acid as a catalyst during the curing process can improve the curing rate. The cured melamine formaldehyde resin is colorless and transparent, stable in boiling water, and even used at a high temperature of 150°C.
The use of melamine tableware should pay attention to these matters:
1. It should be noted that melamine tableware cannot be used for a long time. should be used scientifically. The service life of melamine tableware is generally two to three years. During use, once the tableware is cracked, discolored, deformed or scratched, it should be stopped immediately.
2. In the process of using melamine tableware, it should not be used in an environment with excessive temperature difference, otherwise it will easily cause cracking. When cleaning melamine tableware, do not use cleaning cloths, detergent powder, etc. to clean the tableware surface, because it will wipe the tableware surface and make it more susceptible to contamination. Also, try not to cook melamine tableware in a pot. Toxic substances that may be contained in color patterns or tableware materials are easily precipitated at high temperatures.
3. Qualified melamine tableware should also be treated before use. It can be boiled in white vinegar or water for about 5 minutes, and then soaked to cool naturally. On the one hand, it is disinfected and on the other hand, it promotes the dissolution or volatilization of residual harmful substances.
