Urea resin cannot be used for food contact tableware at all.
It is illegal to use urea-formaldehyde resin to make plastic tableware, because it abuses the China QB1999-1994 "melamine plastics tableware" standard. Why does it say so?
Because the urea-formaldehyde resin is not listed in the 959 additives in the GB 9685-2009 standard, it cannot be used in food containers.
- Urea-formaldehyde resin tableware is very harmful to the human body because it is easy to decompose in case of strong acid and strong alkali, and has poor weather resistance.
- Long-term use in the temperature of 80℃, urea-formaldehyde resin reversibly reacts to produce urea and formaldehyde, excessive formaldehyde will have potential carcinogenic hazards to the human body.
The tableware made of urea covered with melamine resin powder also cannot be used as food contact tableware.
Because it still urea-formaldehyde resin which is illegal to be used for tableware making. After the melamine powder wears away, so it’s also harmful like urea products.
This product can only be used to make towel plates, candy plates, fruit plates, etc which are not in direct contact with food.
Therefore, the raw material for making food contact melamine tableware is very important.
