Melamine Testing Services in Singapore and US
Melamine, a by-product of the coal industry, is a chemical compound frequently used for the production of plastics, kitchenware, commercial filters, laminates or coatings.
Melamine is very high in nitrogen. This has led to its illegal addition to food and feed for alteration as the high nitrogen content increases the apparent amount of protein in standard measurement procedures.
Residues like melamine are regulated by law and their levels in food must be checked.
