What is Melamine?

Melamine is a type of plastic that is often used as a coating material for kitchen cabinets, shelves, and other surfaces. It is made by combining melamine resin and paper, then pressing them together under high heat and pressure to create a durable, moisture-resistant material. Melamine is known for its affordability and versatility, as it comes in a variety of colors and finishes that can mimic the look of wood or other materials.

Melamine is a popular choice for kitchen cabinetry and other home furnishings because it is easy to clean and maintain, and resists scratches and stains better than many other materials. It is also resistant to moisture, making it a good choice for use in areas with high humidity or where spills and splashes are common. Melamine is available in a range of thicknesses and can be cut and shaped to fit virtually any design or application.
