Melamine Foam Bulk Magic
Eraser Sponge
Melamine cleaning erasers are made of melamine, an organic
compound with a wide variety of uses; in fact, youll find melamine
used in everything from sound-dampening materials to dinnerware
sets.
Melamine Foam Sponge are formed differently from other cleaning
products and only need water to effectively wipe most stains *- no
chemical cleaners or soaps are required. The only downfall is that
melamine foam erasers wear out quickly *- just like pencil erasers
do. To all outward appearances, however, melamine foam erasers look
and feel just like any other sponge. To view the crucial properties
of melamine foam, you need to go down to the microscopic level.
This is because when melamine resin cures into foam, its
microstructure becomes very hard *- almost as hard as glass *-
causing it to perform on stains a lot like super-fine sandpaper.
How can this foam be like a sponge if it is almost as hard as
glass? Because it\'s a special type of porous foam.
Closed-cell foam is easier to visualize, so let\'s start there.
Types of closed-cell foam are usually more rigid because they
retain most of their air pockets intact, like a bunch of balls all
crammed together. For open-cell foam (typically the more flexible),
imagine that those balls have burst, but some parts of their
casings remain. You can picture a squishy sea sponge as an example.
In airy melamine foam, only a very limited amount of casing stays
in place, and the strands that do are located where the edges of
several air pockets overlapped. The foam is flexible because each
tiny strand is so slender and small that bending the entire eraser
is easy.
When the rigid crystal structure of melamine is processed, it turns
into melamine foam, which is the generic name for the magic white
sponge. The melamine foam has a superfine, high-strength structure
that behaves a lot like sandpaper with a nearly microscopic level
of grit.
The cavity-ridden open microstructure of melamine foam is where the
second major boost to its stain-removing capabilities comes in.
Apart from being able to scrape at stains with extremely hard
microscopic filaments, with a few quick runs of the eraser, the
stain has already started to come away. That\'s aided by the fact
that the dirt is pulled into the open spaces between the spindly
skeletal strands and bound there. These two factors combined make
this next-generation eraser seem almost magical.
Compared to traditional sponges, Topeco Clean magic sponges have
some gains. These sponges only need water to wipe messes — meaning
you wont need to burn through chemical cleaning products (and
plastic packaging).
Melamine Foam Sponge Erasers can also typically be used multiple
times, making them preferable to paper towels and other single-use
products. In the end, Melamine Sponges are also non-toxic, and
worth using.
