Melamine is used for its color fastness, easy maintenance, hygiene, abrasion resistance and resistance to cracking. Melamine is a plastic available in various colors and structures.
Melamine is mainly used as a basic raw material for melamine resins and coatings. Thermosetting plastics are produced by reaction with aldehydes. Melamine is strong, light and hard. Reasons why it is used to make plates and cutlery. In the 1960s, experiments with this were also carried out in the Netherlands, including at the Mosa pottery factory in Maastricht.
