What is Melamine?
Melamine (C₃H₆N₆) is an organic compound rich in nitrogen, widely used in industrial manufacturing. It appears as a white crystalline powder and is known for its heat resistance, durability, and ability to form strong resins. Melamine is primarily utilized in the production of plastics, laminates, adhesives, and coatings.
Common Applications
- Plastics Manufacturing: A Key ingredient in melamine-formaldehyde resins.
- Laminates & Panels: Used in decorative laminates, particle boards, and MDF.
- Coatings & Paints: Enhances hardness and scratch resistance.
- Adhesives: Applied in bonding wood, textiles, and paper.
- Dinnerware: Used in the production of durable, lightweight dishware.
- Textile Finishing: Improves the wrinkle resistance and durability of fabrics.
- Flame Retardants: Acts as a fire-resistant additive in various materials.
