What is melamine?

It is a hard resin which is commonly used in the construction of wooden materials such as plywood or MDF. When it is in the basic form, it is considered as an organic material. If this is combined with formaldehyde, then it becomes a plastic which is the durable thermosetting. And when the plastic mixes with the paper base, it becomes a laminate which is used to cover on other bases.

Melamine board, the full name is melamine impregnated plastic film paper veneer board.

The paper with different colors or textures will be soaked in melamine resin adhesive, Then dry it to certain solidify degree, paved on the surface of chipboard, moisture-proof board, MDF, plywood, joinery board, multilayer board or other hard fiberboard, After hot pressing, a laminated board was born.

what is the difference between Melamine board Laminate board?

Melamine is a laminate, but not all laminates are melamine. When melamine laminates are manufactured, they’re created by molding a melamine/formaldehyde combo into a durable plastic sheet.

This is done by applying a certain amount of pressure-per-square-inch to the laminate. However, the amount of pressure applied changes the classification of the laminate. Melamine is a low-pressure laminate (LPL) because it is made with a pressure of 300-500 pounds-per-square-inch. High-pressure laminate (HPL), also called Formica, is made with over 1400 pound.

The 10 steps to manufacturing a laminate board:

Step 1 Raw Materials

Decorative plastic laminate sheeting is made of resins that react with aldehydes during the thermosetting process. The resins are laminated onto layers of kraft paper topped with a decorative sheet.

The laminate sheets are made up of three layers:

the bottom layer of brown paper coated with phenolic resin, a second layer of paper decorated with the desired pattern, and a third layer.

Step 2 Impregnating the paper

The process begins by soaking strips of paper in resin.

Decorative plastic laminates can be made in different grades or thicknesses, depending on its intended use. There may be from 7-18 layers of paper combined into the final sheet.

The bottom layers are kraft paper. The paper comes in ribbons of different widths, commonly of three, four, or five feet. The kraft paper is run through a “bathtub” or vat containing phenolic resins.

The paper for the top layer of the sheet is translucent. This is run through a vat of melamine resin. The layer just beneath the top is the decorative layer. This is a sheet of paper printed with the color or design that will show through the clear top layer for the desired surface pattern. This sheet is also run through a melamine vat.

Step 3.Drying

Before resin treatment, the paper was flexible and easy to tear and after it is stiff and brittle bend.

The resin-impregnated sheets are then put into a drying chamber. Next, they are cut and stacked in layers. The clear layer and the decorative layer are on top of the kraft paper.

Step 4.Thermosetting

3 The layers of paper are then loaded onto a flat-bed hydraulic press for final curing.

Thermosetting converts the paper sheets into one single, rigid laminated sheet.

Step 5.Finishing

The sheets are trimmed to required size and sanded, and then cut into the desired size and shape.

Let's talk about melamine!

Melamine laminate is a hard resin commonly used as an overlay for building materials like MDF or plywood. In its most basic form, melamine is an organic compound that when combined with formaldehyde forms a durable thermosetting plastic. This 'plastic' is then added to a paper base to form the laminate that covers a variety of materials and household objects.

What products include melamine:

• Household & Office furniture
• Cabinets
• Dinnerware
• Flooring
• Dry Erase Boards

Melamine vs Laminate

Melamine is a laminate, but not all laminates are melamine. Following? When melamine laminates are manufactured, they’re created by molding a melamine/formaldehyde combo into a durable plastic sheet. This is done by applying a certain amount of pressure-per-square-inch to the laminate. However, the amount of pressure applied changes the classification of the laminate. Melamine is a low pressure laminate (LPL) because it is made with a pressure of 300-500 pounds-per-square-inch. High pressure laminate (HPL), also called Formica, is made with over 1400 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure.

What is Melamine Furniture?

Melamine furniture is constructed from a manufactured-wood substrate, like MDF (medium density fiberboard) or plywood, that has been covered in melamine laminate. The melamine resin gives these otherwise lower-quality materials a very durable and attractive finish! This is what makes melamine furniture, like cabinets and display counters, so popular! While 100% real wood furniture pieces have their benefits, in many cases using melamine laminated furniture is the most cost effective, lightweight, and convenient choice.

Benefits of Building with Melamine Laminates

• Durable - scratch & shatter resistant, waterproof
• Inexpensive - covers inexpensive substrates like MDF or plywood
• Choice - can be produced in a wide variety of colors & finishes

While the melamine itself is waterproof, if water gets to the particle board underneath, the dampness could cause the melamine to distort. Similarly, while melamine is very durable, if you incorrectly install or assemble a piece of laminate furniture in a way that damages its particle board, it could cause the melamine to chip.
