Is Melamine Breakable? Melamine is extremely difficult to break, but there have been instances of chipping around the edges of melamine dishware when it’s handled very roughly. The good news is that melamine will not shatter if dropped, like typical china or porcelain would, and is overall far more durable than any other traditional dinnerware material. Due to it’s durable construction, melamine dinnerware has a much lower replacement rate than china, which can save your business a lot of money in the long term. For example, melamine has an annual replacement rate of around 10 to 20%, whereas china has a replacement rate between 50 and 150%. Plus, melamine is relatively resistant to scratch marks from forks, knives, and other utensils. Look for models with a reinforced rim and foot for additional durability.
Is Melamine Microwave Safe? As mentioned above, melamine can withstand high temperatures, but it should not be heated while in contact with food. For this reason, use in the microwave is not recommended.
