Alternative Classifications
This product could be classified differently depending on its characteristics or intended use.
If pre-impregnated with paper
Paper coated with melamine resin becomes Chapter 48 coated paper
If made into finished films/sheets
Completed plastic sheets from melamine classify as other plastic plates
If modified as starch adhesive
Dextrin-based amino resin adhesives have separate classification
