text: "Melamine is a strong organic base with chemical formula C3H6N6, with the IUPAC name 1,3,5-triazine-2,4,6-triamine. It is primarily used to produce melamine resin, which when combined with formaldehyde produces a very durable thermoset plastic. This plastic is often used in kitchen utensils or plates (often sold under the brand name Melmac), and is the main constituent of Formica® and Arborite®."\nWikipedia\n\nThey have links to the confusing terms (such as C3H6N6 and 1,3,5-triazine-2,4)  on the page that so you can research it further.\n\nOther links besides that below to round out the subject.
