Melamine is also called one-step moulding board. The base material is made of particleboard and MDF(medium density fiberboard), and the door finish consists of three layers: melamine resin overlay, décor layer, core layer and the backing layer. Melamine is quite eco-friendly because melamine formaldehyde resin is a kind of very low formaldehyde solution. Firstly, paper with different colours or textures is soaked into melamine resin adhesive, and then it will be dried to a certain degree, and at last, is decorated with particleboard or MDF as a surface through heat pressing. After the procedure of fireproof, abrasion and waterproof, melamine is a tough material that is resistant to heat, moisture and chemicals.

Tips to choose Melamine:


①To choose good quality of melamine, we should pay attention to the factory name, site, and brand name of the production enterprise because only a complete label can get the quality guarantee.

②When choosing, it can be judged by the smell. The greater the smell, the higher the release of formaldehyde, the more serious the pollution, and the more harmful it is. Good melamine material should be a light smell.

③There should be no apparent defect on the surface. The plate surface should be smooth, without burr grooves and planer marks, no glue penetration phenomenon, surface without yellow, black and other pollution.

④There should be no glue phenomenon. Good melamine fully reflects the strength and adhesive bonding performance of sheet metal quality, higher bonding strength value, the better the performance bond.


Tips to maintain the Melamine:


In order to get rid of formaldehyde, activated carbon can be the first choice. A large number of molecules on activated carbon can produce strong gravity, so as to achieve the impurities in the medium attracted to the aperture of the objective.
