Melamine Paper Production Process

Melamine paper is a common facing material for furniture and flooring. With the popularity of custom furniture recently, its demand has grown rapidly. Major domestic manufacturers have upgraded their production technology, making the products more environmentally friendly and durable. This has increased the export volume by 28% compared with last year, and high-end custom models account for more than 40% of the total.

The production steps of melamine paper are coherent, and key links are fully automated: Step 1 is to process the base paper—dry and adjust the humidity of wood pulp or bamboo pulp paper to ensure proper moisture content for subsequent gluing; Step 2 is gluing—soak the base paper in melamine resin glue and control the speed to ensure even penetration; Step 3 is drying and solidification—heat slowly in a drying oven to fully solidify the glue without deforming the paper; The final step is laminating—use high-temperature and high-pressure equipment to bond the pre-printed decorative layer with the base material, and the wear-resistant and stain-resistant finished paper is ready.

Environmental protection upgrade is a key focus of the industry. Now most manufacturers use low-formaldehyde glue, making the product's formaldehyde emission far below the national standard; some manufacturers have also installed glue recycling systems, which can recover 95% of the glue and reduce wastewater discharge by 60%. In terms of quality, with the new coating technology, the paper is more wear-resistant, and its acid and alkali resistance as well as aging resistance have also been enhanced. It can be used in humid places such as kitchens and bathrooms without problems.
