Its two raw materials, melamine and formaldehyde, are particularly annoying to us. However, after the reaction produces macromolecules, it is considered that there is no toxicity. As long as the use temperature is not high enough, if melamine is used to make plastic tableware (also known as porcelain like tableware), it has the properties of lightness, beauty, low temperature resistance (can be directly put into the refrigerator), boiling resistance (can be steamed and boiled in boiling water), pollution resistance, and not easy to break.

It can only be said that in this crazy world, there is nothing absolutely safe in the field of food hygiene. Melamine tableware has been used in China for more than 40 years. It has been proved harmless by billions of people. However, in the spot check of melamine tableware conducted by the International Food Packaging Association in the Beijing market, the qualified rate of melamine tableware was only 60%.
Experts remind infants to avoid using such tableware with too bright colors as far as possible. Inferior melamine tableware is easy to release melamine. However, not all melamine tableware has potential safety hazards, and consumers do not have to worry too much about it. Qualified melamine tableware has high safety.
In a word, melamine tableware has brought convenience to our life. When consumers buy melamine tableware, they must certify the brand and buy it from merchants with guaranteed quality and reputation, so as to prevent buying inferior melamine tableware from posing a threat to the health of their families.
When you see its name, some friends may be very afraid, because melamine is non-toxic, tasteless and has the advantages of low temperature resistance. The structure is also very compact and has strong hardness. Therefore, it is not easy to break when used. It has very strong durability. This kind of plastic is also very easy to color, and its color is very beautiful. I hope Xiaobian's introduction can bring us some help!
