Description
Any synthetic resin made with melamine and an aldehyde. The most popular melamine resin is melamine formaldehyde. Developed in 1933 by CIBA, it was widely used for molded plastic products. Butylated melamine resins are used in paints and enamels. They cure to a hard, durable glossy film that is chemically resistant. Melamine acrylic resins have been used for automotive finishes. In the late 1990s, melamine was successfully made into fibers (Basofil®). The low-cost fibers are resistant to high temperatures but have low tensile strength and are often blended with other fibers such as aramids.
