Wholesale White Color UMC Melamine Moulding Compound Powder Stable Molding Performance For Low Cost Imitation Ceramic Catering Tableware
Our Wholesale White Color UMC (Urea Melamine Compound) Moulding Powder is an industry-favorite raw material engineered specifically for high-efficiency, cost-effective compression molding. Formulated to provide stable molding performance, this compound blends the economic advantages of urea with the premium surface properties of melamine.
It is the ideal solution for manufacturers looking to produce budget-friendly, high-volume imitation ceramic catering tableware without sacrificing the glossy aesthetic, hefty feel, and crisp white look of traditional porcelain.
-
Pure White & Custom Tones: Delivers a vibrant, clean white finish that perfectly replicates the appearance of genuine bone china and ceramic.
-
Stable Molding Performance: Formulated for excellent fluidity, uniform particle distribution, and consistent curing speeds, drastically reducing factory defect rates (such as blistering or uneven surfaces).
-
Low-Cost Production Yields: Highly economical compared to 100% pure A5 melamine, giving manufacturers a competitive edge when bidding for high-volume commercial catering contracts.
-
Excellent Surface Hardness: Resists scratching, chipping, and daily wear-and-tear from heavy-duty commercial dishwashers and high-frequency catering use.
-
Stain & Chemical Resistance: Provides a non-porous surface that resists staining from common catering foods like curry, coffee, sauces, and oils.

-
Fast-Food & Food Court Essentials: Stackable serving trays, drink cups, and divided food trays.
To ensure maximum structural integrity and the signature "high-gloss ceramic look," follow these standard compression molding parameters:
-
Preheating: It is highly recommended to pre-warm the white powder using a high-frequency preheating machine to 85°C – 95°C. This step removes residual moisture, ensures an even finish, and speeds up cycle times.
-
Temperature Maintenance: Keep your mold temperature strictly within 145°C to 165°C. Excessive heat can cause yellowing or surface embrittlement on white compounds.
-
Bumping / Degassing: Program a reliable venting (degassing) cycle into your hydraulic press. Releasing trapped gases early in the compression cycle eliminates surface pinholes and cloudiness.
-
Direct Factory Wholesale: Get competitive, tier-structured factory-direct pricing to optimize your raw material sourcing costs.
-
Batch-to-Batch Consistency: Advanced automated manufacturing lines guarantee that color, fluidity, and curing properties remain identical from the first bag to the last.
-
OEM / Custom Formulations: We can fine-tune the curing speed and flowability to match your specific machinery, mold design, or cycle time goals.
-
Global Shipping & Compliance: Seamless export handling with complete documentation (ISO9001, REACH, and material safety data sheets) for hassle-free customs clearance.
-
Packaging: Standardized in 25 kg moisture-proof bags. Bulk palletizing and shrink-wrapping are available for overseas container shipping.
-
Storage Condition: Store in a dry, cool, and well-ventilated warehouse space. Keep sealed and protected from direct sunlight, humidity, and rainy environments.
-
Shelf Life: For best performance, use within 6 months of the production date when stored under recommended conditions.
