Dishes From the Air: Chemical Miracle
t
In the photo at right, a plate
was dropped from a height of
eight feet. Hundreds of pic
tures were made of it in flight
and when it landed, it was
completely undamaged, not
. even chipped.
This very minute, somewhere, it’s
likely that a dish is slipping through
someone’s fingers and shattering on
the floor. But it’s a good bet that
it’s not made of melmac, a product
of chemical research.
For centuries, housewives have
been looking for an elusive com
bination in dinnerware: beauty plus
durability. Beauty has been attain
able; durability has been quite an
other matter. That is, until melmac
came along. This modern molding
compound is made from melamine,
whose basic ingredient is derived |
in large part from the very air you 1
breathe. For one of its basic in- I
gredients is nitrogen, which is i
extracted from the air by a chemi- ■
cal process.
It’s melamine which gives today’s strikingly attractive molded
dinnerware the all-around durability which other types of dishes
lack—you can drop it and it’s highly unlikely that it will break or
even chip. That’s why it’s a strong candidate for the housewife’s list
of long-term investments.
