Melamine-coated boards are increasingly popular in the furniture industry thanks to their high aesthetics, good durability and scratch resistance. Some customers have questions about the ability of this material to resist stains from common agents such as coffee, pen ink, grease or household chemicals. To accurately evaluate this characteristic, Moc Phat invites readers to learn about the results of the test for stains with coffee stains on Melamine surfaces.

Overview of the test for stains with coffee stains on Melamine surfaces

Moc Phat has tested the stain resistance of melamine surfaces when exposed to coffee stains for two different periods of time: 10 minutes and 16 hours. This test is applied to melamine samples in SA white, TA white and GA white. Because, the white color can give the most accurate level of influence from stains. At the same time, it also evaluates the cleaning ability after exposure for each corresponding period of time.

Stain resistance test scale for coffee stains on Melamine surfaces

To accurately evaluate the level of influence from stubborn coffee stains. Moc Phat applies a classification scale based on five different levels. The evaluation criteria are built on the level of change in color, gloss and surface condition after exposure to stains for a certain period of time. Through these levels, we can determine the stain resistance of each type of melamine, and at the same time provide objective data for comparison and selection of suitable materials for each use.

Level 1: Surface deformation, color change, blistering

Level 2: Surface changes significantly in gloss and color

Level 3: Moderate gloss and color change

Level 4: Slight change, only visible at a certain angle

Level 5: Surface has no obvious change

Results of stain resistance test with coffee stains on melamine surface
