The Danger Behind The Plates

Tableware made of melamine on one side has many advantages, among others:
- Design a diverse and interesting color
- More light, strong, and not easily broken
- Prices are relatively cheap compared to eating utensils made of ceramics
However, on the other hand melamine too dangerous for your health


Behind melamine excellence!
Melamine has the potential to "produce toxic monomers called fomaldehid (formaldehyde):
This is caused by formaldehyde in the melamine compound having depoimerisasi (degradation), in which particles of formaldehyde re-emerged as a monomer, so as to produce toxins. Polymerization is less than perfect also can produce residues, namely monomer, so caught up in melamine material, in addition, melamine is a potential trigger depolymerization. Friction-friction and abrasion to the surface also has the potential to cause loss of melamine formaldehyde particles.
The content of formaldehyde in melamine utensil reaches 4.76 to 9.22 mg / l.
Melamine is a polymer, that is the result of chemical compounds (polymerization) between formal dehid monomer and phenol.


How to test the melamine-containing formalin
1. Test simple Bakara
melamine edge burned with candle for 20 seconds, dibau of formaldehyde gas sting
2. Test boiled for 30 minutes-1 hour-containing melamine formaldehyde will barubah form of twisted, brittle, and melts. Steam boiled it causes stinging eyes, coughing, and nausea

Formaldehyde is a colorless solution with a very piercing odor. In the formalin contained 37% formaldehyde is usually added up to 15% methanol as a preservative

Another name formalin
Formal - methylene-paraforin formic aldehyde-aldehyde-tetraoxymethylene formalith methanal-formoform-superlysoform

Usefulness formalin
- Preservative corpse
- Materials for plywood adhesive
- Additional material on the manufacture of toilet tissue paper
- Preservative cosmetic products
- Preservative insect
- Additional Material urea fertilizer

Formalin for health hazard
- If inhaled: Irritation of the airways, mucus membrane inflammation, burning sensation in, nose and throat, allergic reaction (sneezing / coughing), headache, bronchitis, pneuminia, and astma
- If the skin: Skin color red, feels hot, numbness, damage to skin tissue, skin Movement
- If the skin: Skin color red, feels hot, numbness, damage to skin tissue, hardening of skin
- If the eyes: Irritation, inflammation of the lining of the eye, blurred vision
- If swallowed: Vomiting, diarrhea, stomach irritation, brain dysfunction, and spinal marrow, cell dysfunction
Systemic effects may include CNS depression, coma, seizures, albuminaria, the presence of red blood cells in urine (hemeturia) and metabolic acidosis
