Melamine Powder Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Cyanuramide
- 2,4,6-Triamino-1,3,5-Triazine
- C3H6N6
Melamine is a nitrogen-rich triazine supplied commercially as a white crystalline powder for resin and manufacturing use. Also known as cyanuramide or 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine, it is primarily specified as the raw material for melamine-formaldehyde resin rather than as finished melamine ware.
Buyers commonly request standard resin-grade melamine or a fine-particle powder, with the choice guided by assay, moisture, ash, colour, particle size and the requirements of the manufacturing process. Melamine powder and serbuk melamine are common enquiry terms, while melamine resin and melamine moulding compound are downstream products and should be identified separately.
Melamine is used in resins for decorative laminates, wood panels, impregnated papers, moulded components and tableware, and in selected coatings, textile finishes and flame-retardant formulations. The required grade depends on whether the powder will be reacted into resin, blended, dispersed or used in another controlled formulation.
Send the intended application, required specification, quantity, packing preference and delivery location with your enquiry. Availability, packing, documentation, route and timing are confirmed with the quotation.

Safety and handling
Keep containers closed in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area. Minimise dust generation and follow the handling controls in the applicable safety data sheet.
Common questions about melamine powder
Which melamine grade should I request for resin manufacture?
Resin-grade melamine powder is the usual starting point, but the required controls depend on the resin and end product. Send your limits for assay, moisture, ash, colour and particle size, especially for laminate, moulding or colour-sensitive resin production.
Is melamine powder the same as melamine resin or moulding compound?
No. Melamine powder is the triazine raw material. Melamine resin is a downstream reaction product, commonly made with formaldehyde, while a moulding compound contains resin together with fillers, pigments and other additives. State the exact product required in the enquiry.
What specifications are commonly checked for melamine powder?
Buyers commonly check appearance, assay, moisture, ash, colour and particle-size distribution. Some resin processes also specify solution clarity or reaction performance. Send the purchasing specification or required limits so the quotation can be matched to the application.
Can raw melamine be used to make melamine tableware?
Melamine powder is a raw material used to produce the resin that goes into suitable moulding compounds. Finished plates and other tableware are downstream manufactured goods, so an enquiry for raw melamine should state the resin or moulding application rather than a finished item.
Does serbuk melamine mean the same product as melamine powder?
Yes. Serbuk melamine is a common Malay enquiry term for melamine powder. It refers to the industrial raw material, not finished melamine ware, so include the required grade, specification and application when asking for a quotation.
What packing and documents should I state in a melamine enquiry?
State the preferred pack type and size, pallet or liner requirements, and the documents your quality team needs. Available packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation rather than assumed from a general product page.
How is melamine powder priced?
Price depends on the grade, specification, particle-size requirement, quantity, packing and delivery point. A current price is provided on enquiry with a stated validity period, so send these details for a comparable quotation.
