NEMA Laminate vs. Melamine
Both NEMA laminate and melamine 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 NEMA laminate and the bottom bar is melamine.
