Melamine formaldehyde resin (MF) is a resin formed by polycondensation of melamine and formaldehyde as main raw materials after hydroxylation reaction.
MF has been widely used in kitchenware, toys, daily necessities, electrical components and other fields due to its advantages of easy processing and molding, high dimensional accuracy, good mechanical strength, heat resistance, flame retardancy, insulation, and corrosion resistance.
With the development of science and technology and the increasing awareness of environmental protection, countries around the world have implemented measures such as bans on natural forest logging and banned disposable tableware, which has promoted the demand for melamine products in the domestic and foreign markets to increase year by year. However, the production cost of pure melamine formaldehyde resin products is slightly higher, which limits its promotion and application to a certain extent. Therefore, melamine tableware with bamboo powder newly developed in the melamine industry as a filler is becoming popular. On the one hand, the use of bamboo powder can effectively reduce the cost of melamine plastic products, and on the other hand, it can increase the impact strength of the resin.
Under normal circumstances, the raw materials of melamine bamboo tableware are about 20% bamboo powder, 60%-70% melamine molding compound, and the rest are colors and fillers. Some sellers on the market will promote that bamboo melamine tableware is environmentally friendly and biodegradable, but in fact only bamboo powder is degradable. Therefore, it is necessary for tableware manufacturers to learn the professional knowledge of melamine bamboo tableware so that the public has a correct understanding of it.
Huafu Chemicals will continue to share more expertise and experience related to the melamine industry in the future.
