Properties
Melamine powder is tasteless, odourless and non-toxic. Melamine formaldehyde resins used for laminates offer good hardness, resistance to scratch, stain, water and heat. Laminates used in some industrial electrical applications possess high mechanical strength, good heat resistance and good electrical insulating properties.
Asbestos filled Melamine resins possess very high dielectric strength and high heat resistance. Besides the best dimensional stability, Melamine Formaldehyde moulding powder gives clear and bright colours, is easily mouldable and offers resistance to surface scratching.
