In general, it is relatively stable, but may release cyanide at high temperatures. Melamine is a basic organic chemical intermediate product with a wide range of uses. Its main purpose is as a raw material for the production of melamine formaldehyde resin (MF). Melamine can also be used as flame retardants, water reducers, formaldehyde cleaners and so on. The hardness of the resin is higher than that of urea-formaldehyde resin. It is non-flammable, water-resistant, heat-resistant, weather-resistant, arc-resistant, chemical-resistant, has good insulation properties, gloss and mechanical strength. It is widely used in wood, plastics, coatings, papermaking, and textiles. , leather, electrical, pharmaceutical and other industries.

Why use on furniture plates?

Reporters found in the furniture market, in addition to solid wood furniture, most of the high-end panel furniture that his plate is melamine plate, especially the overall high-end wardrobe.

The production of melamine panels for furniture depends on whether the melamine board is used for the middle dense board or particle board substrate. If the amount of formaldehyde released from the substrate is not up to the standard, it will only be air pollution caused by excessive formaldehyde. "Consumers can rest assured that they use qualified melamine furniture."

How to maintain melamine furniture?

In general, the melamine board is extremely hard-wearing, scratch-resistant, acid-resistant, heat-resistant, and stain-resistant. Generally no special care is required. But pay attention not to be soaked in water for a long time during use, so as to avoid edge cracking.

If accidental cracking or breakage occurs accidentally, it can be repaired by the following method: First, put a damp cloth on the damaged part, and then put a hot iron on the wet cloth to force the moisture into the veneer. The veneer becomes tough. Not easily broken. Then scrape off the old rubber, apply a layer of milky white glue on the base wood, and then apply a new layer of glue on the reverse side of the release veneer and compact it until the glue is completely dry.
