Crystal Melamine

The German word melamin was coined by combining the words: melam (a derivative of ammonium thiocyanate) and amine. Melamine is, therefore, unrelated etymologically to the root melas (μελας, meaning black in Greek), from which the words melanin, a pigment, and melatonin, a hormone, are formed.

Melamine is combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a very durable thermosetting plastic used in Formica, melamine dinnerware, laminate flooring and dry erase boards. Melamine foam is used as insulation, soundproofing material and in polymeric cleaning products, such as Magic Eraser. Melamine is one of the major components in Pigment Yellow 150, a colorant in inks and plastics.

Melamine is sometimes illegally added to food products in order to increase the apparent protein content. Standard tests, such as theKjeldahl and Dumas tests, estimate protein levels by measuring the nitrogen content, so they can be misled by adding nitrogen-rich compounds such as melamine. There is an instrument (SPRINT) developed by the company Melamine boasts three chemically unique characteristics:

• Stability – Makes it resistant to chemical, thermal and physical breakdown
• Structure - Enables it to be combined with other chemicals and compounds to manufacture moldable, durable and safe products
• 66% Nitrogen – Provides desirable fire- and flame-retardant properties.

Use

Melamine is ideal for use in high-performance products like wood-based panels, laminates, coatings, molding powders and flame-retardants. It is used in impregnating adhesive resins in the wood-processing industry. It can be combined with softwood from rapidly growing trees or waste wood to produce high-quality panels that can replace hardwood.

It can be made into a foam product that can easily clean a wide variety of surfaces and substances. Melamine foam is marketed under a variety of commercial names including Mr. Clean® Magic Eraser®, a popular cleaning tool. Melamine also plays a role in a wide range of flame resistant materials, including; upholstery textiles, intumescent paints, fabrics used in uniforms worn by firefighters and industrial workers, and a wide variety of residential, commercial, and industrial fire block materials.
