  Health: FAQs About Melamine Contamination - US News and World Report
Melamine was considered non- or minimally toxic until veterinary scientists determined that it was the cause of possibly thousands of dog and cat renal (kidney) failures and deaths after pet food was contaminated with the industrial chemical.
Melamine has also been recently discovered in livestock feed that more than a million hogs and chickens are believed to have eaten.
Melamine is unlikely to pose a threat to humans even if small amounts of it are found in the American food supply, according to toxicologists monitoring for the industrial chemical in food.

  Method of using non-resinous melamine to safen urea-formaldehyde-wood composite products and product produced thereby ...
In the method disclosed for preparing the bonding agent, the melamine is added during the condensation of the urea and formaldehyde and, accordingly, is incorporated as a component of the resin and not maintained in substantially free form.
The dispersed non-resinous melamine is reacted by the UF resin to form a strong bond between the melamine and the remainder of the UF-wood composite.
The non-resinous melamine is particularly effective because it reacts with the formaldehyde slowly as it becomes available during the curing of the UF resin and, more importantly, the non-resinous melamine reacts with the formaldehyde emitted during the slow decomposition of the cured resin throughout its long use life.

 What is Melamine?
Melamine is an organic compound that is often combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a synthetic polymer which is fire resistant and heat tolerant.
Melamine resin is manufactured by mixing urea with formaldehyde under heat and pressure.
Melamine filters are capable of handling a high capacity and can be used in hot environments due to the heat resistance of melamine.

Melamine is produced from urea, mainly by either of two methods: catalyzed gas-phase production or high pressure liquid-phase production.
Melamine is primarily used to produce melamine resin, which when combined with formaldehyde produces a very durable thermoset plastic.
Melamine resin is often directly laminated to particle board; the resultant panel is often referred to just as "melamine" and is the main panel good used in Ready-To-Assemble furniture and many kitchen cabinets.

 Melamine Carcasses
Melamine itself is an incredibly clean and durable substance (remember the miraculous melamine plates in the 50's that you could drop on concrete without breaking?), but the overall quality of sheet goods also depends largely on the substrate or core.
Melamine (or the core it's on) is not particleboard!
Melamine cores have advanced way beyond those days and there are even some cores that water does not affect; it's being used in many million dollar yachts today.

 Guide for Painting Melamine Cabinet Doors
Melamine Paint is a Urethane Re-inforced Oil Based Paint which can usually be applied to a multitude of surfaces like laminates, plastic, fibreglass, glass and even ceramics.
Painting on Melamine is similar to painting over previously painted kitchen cabinets, you start with a surface that is smooth and it's our experience that this type of paint - like all others - works better when the surface is roughed up a bit with sand paper to provide a key for the new paint.
Most Melamine paints are touch dry in a couple of hours but will not be completely cured (set) for a couple of days so you will initially need to be careful when re-mounting the doors and for a while when using them until they are totally set.

 FDA/USDA Joint News Release: Scientists Conclude Very Low Risk to Humans from Food Containing Melamine
There is very low risk to human health from consuming meat from hogs and chickens known to have been fed animal feed supplemented with pet food scraps that contained melamine and melamine-related compounds, according to an assessment conducted by scientists from five federal agencies.
Subsequently, scraps of contaminated pet food that contained only low levels of melamine were distributed to farms in a limited number of states and added to the feed consumed by swine and poultry.
In addition, melamine is known to be excreted in animal urine.

 Melamine Foam Sound Proofing for the Computer Case - FrostyTech.com
The 1/2" thick Melamine foam panels were actually 3/8" thick when they arrived, and were going to be placed on both the left and right side panels, the base, and the top of the case.
A small section of Melamine Foam was also placed between the bezel and the front of the case in an effort to absorb noise before it escaped through the front of the case.
After measuring the size of Melamine Foam required for the side panels it was a simple matter of transferring those measurements to the raw sheets, and cutting along the lines with a sharp knife.
