Dongxin Melamine (Xiamen) Chemical Co., Ltd.

Melamine tableware,is made of A5 or A8 grade melamine resin as raw materials to make tableware similar in appearance to porcelain, 

its texture is more solid, not fragile, corrosion resistance, lightweight heat preservation, tasteless and non-toxic, high plasticity, can be made into different colors and shapes of tableware and kitchen utensils, 

including: Chopsticks, plates, bowls, cups, spoons, etc., and the price is cheap, widely popular with the public.

Among the many materials used in the manufacture of porcelain imitation tableware, 

melamine and formaldehyde are the main plastic polymeric materials. Under high temperature or other specific circumstances,

these two chemicals may be released from the tableware, which may be mixed with food and cause potential health risks for long-term consumption,

so the safety of this porcelain imitation tableware is of great concern.

Although food contact materials can be migratory, the extent of health impact must be determined by reasonable scientific evidence, such as the stability of the chemical substance, the amount of release and the identified hazard. In the case of melamine tableware, the plastic is largely stable at room temperature and does not release chemicals. But as the temperature rises and time increases, the plastic material will break down in the boiling and transfer to the food it has come into contact with. Unless the tableware is visibly deformed and dissolved, the release of chemical substances cannot be detected by the naked eye or smell. Therefore, many countries will establish quality standards for tableware or kitchenware according to the risk assessment results for food contact materials, in order to regulate the quality of utensils to supervise and control the release of potentially hazardous substances.

China is one of the major manufacturers and exporters of imitation porcelain tableware in the world, and has a perfect national food safety standard to regulate the "General Safety Requirements for Food Contact Materials and Products (GB4806.1-2016)", aimed at food contact products can meet the food safety, traceability, and provide true and clear product information. In terms of protecting consumers' right to know, products must be marked with information such as precautions, material compliance with the national quality specification declaration, purpose of use, environment and temperature.
