Food Grade A5 Melamine Moulding Compound Powder with 99.8% Melamine Resin and Flexural Strength ≥48MPa for Tableware
food grade A5 melamine powder
,melamine moulding compound for tableware
,high flexural strength melamine resin
Our Food Grade A5 Melamine Moulding Compound Powder is a premium-grade material engineered specifically for high-end disposable and reusable tableware manufacturing. Formulated with 99.8% pure melamine resin, this thermosetting compound ensures exceptional durability, a flawless glossy finish, and absolute food safety.
With a superior flexural strength of ≥48MPa, it provides the perfect balance of rigidity and impact resistance, making it the ideal choice for modern tableware factories aiming for zero-defect production.
-
100% Food Grade (A5 Grade): Pure melamine material, completely non-toxic, odorless, and safe for contact with food. It meets strict global food safety standards (FDA, EU, LFGB).
-
99.8% Melamine Resin Content: Ensures vibrant color stability, high gloss, and a smooth, ceramic-like texture after molding.
-
High Mechanical Strength: Boasting a flexural strength of ≥48MPa, the finished tableware is highly resistant to chipping, cracking, and daily wear and tear.
-
Excellent Thermal & Chemical Resistance: Heat resistant up to 120°C (248°F), dishwasher safe, and highly resistant to acids, alkalis, and oils.
-
Optimized Processability: Engineered for excellent fluid flow during compression molding, reducing cycle times and minimizing factory defect rates.

This A5 compound powder is widely used in compression molding processes to manufacture high-quality, durable, and lightweight tableware, including:
-
Hotel and restaurant dinnerware (plates, bowls, platters)
-
Children's break-resistant cups, mugs, and trays
-
Airlines and fast-food disposable/reusable catering utensils
-
Kitchenware accessories, handles, and serving utensils
Every batch undergoes rigorous testing to guarantee a minimum flexural strength of 48MPa. This prevents the brittleness often found in lower-grade compounds (A1/A3 blends), ensuring your end products protect your brand's reputation.
Our 99.8% resin formula undergoes stringent migratory testing to guarantee that chemical migration levels remain well below international safety thresholds, ensuring 100% compliance for export to the US and European markets.
We offer a vast palette of stable colors—from pristine white and ivory to vibrant custom pantone shades. The particle size distribution is optimized to prevent air bubbles and flash marks during production.
-

Q: What is the difference between A1, A3, and A5 Melamine Powder?
A: A5 grade consists of 100% pure melamine resin, making it completely food-safe and highly durable. A1 and A3 grades contain urea-formaldehyde resins, which are not suitable or safe for hot food contact and have significantly lower mechanical strength.
Q: Can this powder be used in microwave ovens?
A: While A5 melamine tableware is heat-resistant up to 120°C and dishwasher safe, it is not recommended for microwave use as prolonged exposure to intense microwave radiation can degrade the material over time.
