It's classified in Europe as a carcinogen and a potential groundwater contaminant, though it appears testing in Germany and Netherlands didn't find it to be widespread, and concluded more monitoring should be done.

Good reasons to wear a dust mask while cutting the stuff, as if the wood dust and particle board risks weren't already a good enough reason.

On the positive side, it's shiny and bright for utilitarian furniture applications. Probably shouldn't lick my shelving.

Curious about the stuff, as we find it all through our homes:

" #Melamine has a variety of industrial and domestic uses: it is used in paints and coatings in consumer and commercial products, in foam seating and bedding and it has applications as a plasticiser in concrete and in automobile brake tubes and hose. It is also included in thermally fused melamine paper and shelves, whiteboards and flakeboards, paints, sealants for mechanical, electrical and plumbing applications, and in inkjet ink."

De base je voulais 1 simple caisse en #bois pour ma mini perceuse + accessoires
Et la c'est le drame…
Par manque de #massif (Chutes de #pin) pour le fond et couvercle, j'ai pris des chutes de #mélaminé blanc 19mm
Du coup, obligé de faire les chants du méla en liserés de vieux #Chêne parce que pourquoi pas
Et la, les détails s'enchaînent :
- Charnières et fixations de poignée (en Chêne lamellé collé) en #impression3D #PETG #fibres de #carbon
- Fermoirs et pieds en laiton vieillis

[It's been over a decade since I started eliminating all plastics from our household, as much as possible (thanks to getting pregnant & reading up on them). One thing I always encourage people to eliminate first is plastics in the kitchen: e.g.nonstick items, & #melamine.]

"melamine...used to make bowls & other dinnerware...is classified as a carcinogen by the European Union & has been detected in drinking water, yet it is widely used."

On November 6, 2018, a beautiful golden maple leaf, with red accents remaining on its edges, found its way to my insular Juliet balcony. Taken by its aesthetic qualities, I brought it inside and set the scene for it. I misted it, placed it on my petrified wood coaster, and placed my coaster on a melamine surface. It is good that I acted quickly - for the leaf shriveled up almost as soon as it dried. Ephemeral.

Read the full story in my article (pun intended in the title):
