Melamine formaldehyde resin (MF) is a resin made from melamine and formaldehyde as the main raw materials, and then undergoes condensation polymerization after hydroxylation reaction. According to different reaction conditions, it can be divided into thermosetting and thermoplastic resins.

Due to its easy processing and forming, high dimensional accuracy, good mechanical strength, heat resistance, corrosion resistance, flame retardancy, insulation and other advantages, MF has been widely used in the fields of kitchenware, daily necessities, toys, electrical components and other fields.

In recent years, countries around the world have implemented bans on logging of natural forests and banned disposable tableware, which has increased the demand for melamine products in the domestic and foreign markets year by year. However, pure melamine formaldehyde resin products have the disadvantage of high production costs, which limits their promotion and application. Many scholars at home and abroad advocate to use bamboo powder as the filler. On the one hand, it can effectively reduce the cost of melamine plastic products, and on the other hand, it can improve the impact strength of the resin.

Under normal circumstances, the formula raw material for melamine bamboo tableware is about 60%-70% melamine molding powder, 20% bamboo powder, and the rest are color material and filling material. Some sellers in the market will advertise that bamboo melamine tableware is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, but in fact, only the part of bamboo powder is a degradable. Therefore, it is necessary for tableware manufacturers to learn the professional knowledge about melamine bamboo tableware.

Huafu Chemicals will continue to share more melamine related professional knowledge and experience in the future.
