What is melamine?
Melamine is a heat-treated plastic that is ideal for use in making plates thanks to its high heat resistance and extremely durable nature. Melamine plates are virtually unbreakable, making dropped plates much less of a hassle to clean up. Not only is melamine sturdy and reliable, it is also very lightweight and easy to use. This makes these plates easier to use than traditional dinnerware, especially in the home or healthcare environment.
Are melamine plates suitable for the elderly?
Yes - melamine plates are a fantastic choice for the elderly for a number of reasons. Their virtually unbreakable nature means that these plates will not break if dropped. Therefore, the sharp pieces which ceramic plates leave when they break are no longer a danger to the user. Elderly users are therefore much less likely to cut themselves in the event of an accident. Melamine plates are also brilliantly heat resistant, making burns much less likely than when using traditional dinnerware.
Are melamine plates suitable for those with disabilities?
Yes - melamine plates are a great option for use by those with disabilities. Their highly durable design means that dropped plates are not a problem. Melamine’s inherent heat resistance also helps disabled users to avoid burning themselves when serving or eating food. Our high sided plates also make scooping food much easier, especially for stroke victims and people with other disabilities who may only have the use of one hand.
