Production & Moulding Guidelines
For optimal product quality, we recommend the following processing conditions during compression moulding:
- Preheating: Preheating the powder to 70°C - 80°C via high-frequency preheaters is highly recommended to shorten the curing cycle and eliminate surface gas marks.
- Mould Temperature: Maintain the upper and lower moulds between 145°C - 155°C.
- Storage Conditions: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated warehouse. Keep away from moisture, direct sunlight, and heat sources. The recommended storage life is 6 months from the production date.
Packaging & Logistics
- Standard Packing: 25 kg net weight per woven bag/kraft paper bag with an inner PE moisture-proof liner.
- Loading Capacity: 20-22 Metric Tons (MT) per 20ft FCL container without pallets; 18 MT with pallets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: What is the difference between A1 UMC and A5 Melamine Powder?
A: A1 UMC (Urea Moulding Compound) is more cost-effective and primarily used for standard daily tableware, handles, and buttons. A5 is 100% pure melamine, which offers higher heat resistance and chemical durability, making it suitable for premium, long-term microwave-safe dishwasher-safe dinnerware.
Q2: Can you match custom colors based on Pantone codes?
A: Yes! We have a professional color-matching laboratory. Simply provide your Pantone code or a physical sample, and we can match it perfectly.
Q3: Do you provide free samples for testing?
A: Yes, we can provide 1-5 kg of free powder sample for your factory trial. The buyer only needs to cover the international express shipping cost.
