You should know that the most used dishes in the camps are melamine plates.
But why?
In this article, let's find out why melamine dinnerware is so loved by all campers.
Melamine dinnerware is especially loved by campers for two features:
They are quite light
They are extremely durable
Melamine is a highly nitrogenous heterocyclic compound important as a raw material for making polymers. Melamine was discovered by Liebig in 1834, but its industrial use only began in 1940. Melamine, together with formaldehyde, is a raw material for the preparation of melamine resins, thermosetting resins often used in the manufacture of tableware and kitchen utensils. It is named after the monomer (melamine plates, melamine trays, etc.).
As we mentioned above, the melamine tableware we chose is very light and resistant to impacts, as well as being suitable for high-temperature liquids, and there is a non-slip rubber ring (non-slip) on the bottom that increases stability. It prevents it from slipping and moving.
The rubber seal integrated into the bottom also reduces the noise of the vibration plates while driving, and this is not a feature to be taken lightly for motorhomes, for example.
It's okay even if we have to cut food "a little hard", melanin is durable and cannot be compared to the plastic some flatware manufacturers use.
In summary, melamine is a high-quality plastic material, a compound obtained from the combination of melamine resins and cellulose, with certain properties that have proven particularly suitable for camping because:
heat and moisture resistant
odorless and tasteless
shockproof
very durable surface
easy to clean
suitable for freezer
dishwasher safe
long lasting
