Food Grade A1 UMC Urea Moulding Compound Thermosetting Raw Material For Disposable Melamine Tableware Production

Our Food Grade A1 UMC (Urea Moulding Compound) is a premium thermosetting plastic material specifically engineered for the high-efficiency production of disposable tableware and melamine-like dinnerware. As a top-tier amino plastic raw material, it offers excellent fluidity, fast curing cycles, and superior surface gloss, making it the ideal choice for compression moulding manufacturers worldwide.

To help your production team achieve the best results, here are the detailed chemical and physical properties of our A1 Urea Formaldehyde Moulding Powder:

Why choose our A1 UMC raw material for your tableware production line?

• Porcelain-Like Elegance: Finished products exhibit a high surface hardness, brilliant gloss, and a smooth touch that perfectly mimics real ceramic.
• Eco-Friendly & Safe: Formulated to meet food-contact safety standards, ensuring no harmful migration when used for disposable or short-term catering tableware.
• Excellent Processability: Features optimal fluidity and low shrinkage rates, reducing defect rates in high-speed compression moulding machines.
• Vibrant Color Customization: Available in a wide spectrum of colors (White, Pastel, Cream, and vibrant custom shades) with excellent color stability that resists fading.
• High Durability: Offers good resistance to weak acids, alkalis, oils, and electrical arc tracking.

This thermosetting raw material is highly versatile and widely used in the compression moulding industry for:

• Plates, bowls, saucers, and serving trays for fast-food chains and restaurants
• Chopsticks, spoons, and forks

• Heat-insulated handles for pots, pans, and kitchen utensils
• Salad bowls and structural kitchen components

• High-grade clothing buttons, bottle caps, and cosmetic container lids
• Electrical switch plates and domestic fittings

For optimal product quality, we recommend the following processing conditions during compression moulding:

• Preheating: Preheating the powder to 70°C - 80°C via high-frequency preheaters is highly recommended to shorten the curing cycle and eliminate surface gas marks.
• Mould Temperature: Maintain the upper and lower moulds between 145°C - 155°C.
• Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources. The recommended storage life is 6 months from the production date.

• Standard Packing: 25 kg net weight per woven bag/kraft paper bag with an inner PE moisture-proof liner.
• Loading Capacity: 20-22 Metric Tons (MT) per 20ft FCL container without pallets; 18 MT with pallets.
• Lead Time: 7-14 days depending on custom color matching requirements.
