What is Melamine?
Melamine is an organic compound with the formula C₃H₆N₆. This white solid is a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton. Like cyanamide, it contains 67% nitrogen by mass, and its derivatives have fire retardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned or charred.

Which is better plastic or melamine?
Melamine is a chemical used in the manufacturing of plastic dishes, cups, and other tableware. It gives the dishes a harder, more durable feel than standard plastic.
Is melamine cancerous?
The FDA has done a safety and risk assessment on melamine to estimate the risk that exposure to it has on human health.
It reviewed the scientific literature on melamine toxicity as well as animal studies and concluded that this chemical is safe to use for serving food but not in the microwave.
Is melamine bamboo?
Bamboo-melamine (or melamine-bamboo) products are products made of melamine plastic to which bamboo fibers have been added.
This does not mean that the product thus becomes “bamboo”, but that is how it is sold. The melamine-bamboo products are therefore still made of plastic.
Does melamine scratch easily?
Melamine resin makes it very durable and shatter-resistant, making melamine products more desirable than other plastic housewares.
Q Squared’s restaurant-grade melamine can withstand the rigors of everyday use and is also more resistant to scratch marks and use and abuse over time.
