How to Identify the Quality of Melamine Tableware Through Smell Detection

The smell of melamine tableware directly reflects the quality and safety of its raw materials. High-quality melamine tableware is odorless, while low-quality products may emit chemical or plastic odors, especially when exposed to high temperatures. Below are specific detection methods and comparison analyses:

1. Smell Detection Methods

① Static Smell Test (Before Use)

Method: Hold the tableware close to your nose and take a deep breath.
High-Quality Melamine Tableware: No pungent chemical or plastic odor.
Low-Quality Melamine Tableware: May have a strong plastic smell, chemical odor, or glue-like scent.

② Hot Water Test (After Heating)

Method: Pour hot water (above 90°C) into the tableware, let it sit for 1-2 minutes, then smell the interior.
High-Quality Melamine Tableware: No noticeable odor, even after prolonged exposure to hot water.
Low-Quality Melamine Tableware: May release plastic, pungent chemical odors, or even formaldehyde-like irritants.

③ Vinegar or Lemon Juice Test (Acidic Food Reaction)

Method: Pour white vinegar or lemon juice into the tableware and let it sit for 30 minutes before smelling it.
High-Quality Melamine Tableware: No change in smell, does not release any pungent gases.
Low-Quality Melamine Tableware: May emit a plastic, sour, or pungent chemical smell, indicating the presence of inferior additives or unsafe components.
