Elevate your manufacturing standards with our high-grade White Urea Formaldehyde Molding Compound. Specifically engineered for the production of durable, aesthetic, and food-contact safe tableware, our UMC offers the perfect balance of cost-efficiency and premium finish.
Product Overview
Our Urea Molding Compound (also known as Urea Formaldehyde Resin Powder) is a thermosetting plastic produced by the reaction of urea and formaldehyde, reinforced with high-quality alpha-cellulose. It is the industry standard for creating elegant, ivory-white dinnerware that mimics the look and feel of porcelain but with superior shatter resistance.

- Electrical Fittings: High-quality switch plates and sockets (due to excellent insulation).
Processing Recommendations
Pro Tip: To achieve the best results for high-gloss tableware, we recommend pre-heating the powder to approximately 80°C - 100°C before compression. This ensures a smoother finish and reduces internal stress in the molded part.
