Food Grade A5 Melamine Moulding Compound Powder for High Precision Molding with 4H Surface Hardness

Our Food Grade A5 Melamine Moulding Compound (MMC) Powder is a 100% pure melamine-formaldehyde resin formulation specifically engineered for the manufacturing of high-end, food-contact tableware. As a leading chemical raw material, our A5 melamine powder ensures excellent heat resistance, water resistance, and outstanding mechanical strength, making it the preferred choice for global tableware manufacturers.

• 100% Pure Melamine (A5 Grade): Contains no urea-formaldehyde fillers. It meets the strictest international food safety standards, ensuring toxic-free and odorless end products.

• Superb Surface Finish: Produces tableware with a smooth, porcelain-like gloss, high hardness, and excellent scratch resistance.

• Superior Thermal Stability: Withstands temperatures from -20°C to 120°C. Safe for dishwasher use and boiling water sterilization.

• Excellent Chemical Resistance: Highly resistant to oils, acid, alkali, and various solvents commonly found in household and commercial kitchens.

• Vibrant Color Customization: Available in a wide spectrum of colors, including pure white, pastel shades, and vibrant tones. Custom color matching (Pantone/RAL) is fully supported.

This versatile compression moulding powder is widely used in automatic and semi-automatic compression molding machines to produce:

• Hotel & Restaurant Ware: Heavy-duty plates, bowls, serving trays, and saucers.

• Household Kitchenware: Salad bowls, soup spoons, mugs, and chopsticks.

• Children's Dinnerware: Shatterproof, colorful, and lightweight baby plates and cups.

• Aviation & Institutional Catering: Lightweight trays and stackable dishware.

Note: Melamine tableware produced with A5 powder is not recommended for microwave or oven use, as prolonged high electromagnetic/dry heat can degrade the resin structure.

To achieve the best results during compression molding, we recommend the following parameters as a baseline guide:

• Preheating (Optional but Recommended): High-frequency preheating to 80°C–105°C drastically reduces cycle time and improves surface finish.

• Mold Temperature: Top Mold: 165°C – 175°C | Bottom Mold: 160°C – 170°C.

• Curing Time: Adjusted dynamically based on the product wall thickness (typically 15-20 seconds per mm of thickness).

• Standard Packaging: 25 kg per moisture-proof Kraft paper bag with an inner plastic PE liner.

• Storage Environment: Keep in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from direct sunlight, moisture, and heat sources.

• Shelf Life: 12 months from the production date under proper storage conditions.

• Loading Capacity: 20-22 Metric Tons (MT) per 20FT container without pallets; 18 MT with pallets.

• A1 Grade: Contains a high percentage of urea resin. It is not food-safe and is only used for non-food items like buttons or ashtrays.

• A3 Grade: A blend of urea and melamine. It is semi-food grade but degrades quickly under heat and moisture.

• A5 Grade (Our Product): 100% pure melamine-formaldehyde resin. It is fully food-grade, safe for long-term food contact, durable, and certified by global testing bodies.
