High-quality melamine reference materials for accurate residue analysis in food and environmental samples.

Overview

Melamine is an organic compound with the formula C₃H₆N₆. It is a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton. Melamine is widely used in the manufacture of plastics, laminates, adhesives, and flame retardants.

Uses

Melamine is primarily used in the production of melamine-formaldehyde resins, which are used in laminates, glues, dinnerware, whiteboards, and flame retardants. It is also used in fertilizers and as a nitrogen source in animal feed.

Regulatory

The use of melamine in food products is strictly regulated due to its toxicity. Regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EFSA have established maximum residue limits (MRLs) for melamine in food and feed to ensure consumer safety.

Monitoring

Regular monitoring of melamine levels in food and environmental samples is essential to ensure compliance with regulatory standards. Laboratories use high-purity reference materials to calibrate their instruments and validate their analytical methods.

Health Impact

Human Toxicity

Melamine can cause kidney damage and has been associated with kidney stones and renal failure when ingested in large amounts. It is particularly harmful to infants and young children.

Environmental Impact

Effects on Wildlife

Melamine can contaminate water sources and soil, posing a risk to wildlife. Aquatic organisms are particularly vulnerable to melamine toxicity, which can disrupt their reproductive systems and cause mortality.

Safety Measures

Proper handling and storage of melamine are crucial to prevent accidental exposure. Personal protective equipment (PPE) such as gloves and masks should be used when handling melamine.

Regulation

International regulations govern the use of melamine in various industries. Compliance with these regulations is mandatory to ensure the safety of consumers and the environment.

Analytical Standards

HPC Standards GmbH provides high-purity melamine reference materials that meet international quality requirements. These reference materials are essential for laboratories conducting accurate and reliable residue analysis in food and environmental samples.
