Chemistry Phenomenon – Industrial Use of Melamine

In September this year, i wrote a blogpost on the Wrong Use of Chemicals Melamine in the “Sanlu Milk Powder Poisoning in China” that causes a milk powder scare in the global faternity.

About a week ago, i was washing my plates after dinner when i accidentally chance upon some products that are made using Melamine. In fact, the words “MELAMINE” are printed on the underside of the plates.

What can?beat learning Chemistry then actual observations?of real life examples?

And that is always?our?approach of inculcating a?”questioning mind” on chemistry phenomenons.

PS: Do you also have plates or consumer products that are made of Melamine also?
