Melamine Formaldehyde is used for which purpose?

• A. Kitchenware and heat resistant surfaces bonded to worktops
• B. Electrical components
• C. Clothing
• D. Bearings

Answer: (A)

Melamine formaldehyde resin is a hard, heat‑resistant thermosetting plastic. When it cures, it forms a stiff, non‑porous surface that is tough, scratch‑ and stain‑resistant. These properties make it ideal for kitchenware, such as durable melamine dishes, and for laminates bonded to worktops, giving a resilient top layer on countertops. It isn’t used for clothing because it is rigid and brittle, not suitable for fabrics, and it isn’t chosen for bearings because it doesn’t provide the needed low friction and toughness. While it can act as an insulator, the common DT use highlighted here is for kitchenware and heat‑resistant surface laminates.
