Comparison of Melamine Raw Material Components
The quality of melamine tableware mainly depends on the grade of melamine raw materials. The common grades are A8, A5, A1, and recycled materials (waste materials). There are significant differences in composition, performance, and safety among these materials:
| Raw Material Grade | Melamine Powder Content | Other Components | Features | Safety | Application Scenarios |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A8 (Highest Grade) | ≥ 99% | Small amount of additives | High density, high hardness, heat-resistant, non-deformable, smooth surface | ★★★★★ Food-grade safety | High-end hotels, branded restaurants, premium home use |
| A5 (Food Grade) | ≥ 95% | Preheated resin, small amount of additives | Heat-resistant, impact-resistant, non-fading, smooth surface | ★★★★★ Food-grade safety | Household use, chain restaurants, schools, hospitals, etc. |
| A1 (Inferior Material) | ≈ 30% | Waste materials, stone powder, inferior resin | Contains large amounts of stone powder, brittle, prone to yellowing, unpleasant odor | ★★ May release harmful substances | Low-end market, non-food applications |
| Recycled Material | ≤ 10% | Industrial waste, recycled old tableware | High impurity content, brittle, may release formaldehyde | ★ Not suitable for tableware | Low-cost disposable items or counterfeit products |
A8 / A5 melamine tableware is smooth like porcelain, has a long service life, and is safe and non-toxic.
A1 contains a high amount of stone powder and inferior components, which can release harmful substances such as formaldehyde. Long-term use can pose health risks.
Recycled material may contain industrial waste and heavy metals, with extremely low safety levels. It is best to avoid entirely.
Food safety comes first—choose A8 or A5 melamine tableware to ensure health and safety.
Avoid A1 or recycled materials, especially products with unusually low prices.
Look for food-grade certifications (FDA, LFGB, EU standards). Reliable choices include A8/A5 melamine tableware produced by Guangzhou Hucheng, which guarantees high quality.
