Melamine vs. NEMA Laminate
Both melamine and NEMA laminate are thermoset plastics. There are 6 material properties with values for both materials. Properties with values for just one material (19, in this case) are not shown.
For each property being compared, the top bar is melamine and the bottom bar is NEMA laminate.
