Introduction: Why Melamine Foam Is Different
When it comes to cleaning stubborn stains, ordinary sponges often fall short. YDNClean™
melamine foam, also known as a micro-abrasive sponge, harnesses the unique chemistry
and physics of melamine resin to achieve results that water and detergents alone cannot.
This article explains the science behind melamine foam cleaning—and why YDNClean™
is trusted by industries and households worldwide.

The Microstructure of Melamine Foam

3. 3/4
Melamine foam is produced by foaming a melamine-formaldehyde resin into a lightweight,
open-cell structure. This unique microstructure resembles a three-dimensional network of
hard yet flexible filaments:
Hardness & Elasticity: The melamine resin is extremely hard at the microscopic level,
comparable to fine glass fibers.
Open-Cell Network: Each pore is interconnected, creating a high surface area.
Micro-Abrasive Effect: When applied with light pressure, the foam acts like a very fine
sandpaper, scrubbing away dirt without damaging most surfaces.
This combination of properties makes melamine foam effective against stains that traditional
sponges, cloths, or detergents struggle to remove.
How the Cleaning Mechanism Works
The cleaning process is a synergy of physics and chemistry:
1. Mechanical Action (Micro-Abrasion):
The hard yet thin resin walls penetrate surface crevices, loosening particles of dirt,
grease, or scale.
2. Capillary Effect:
The foam’s open-cell structure draws loosened dirt into its pores, preventing re-
deposition.
3. Water Activation:
Only water is required—no harsh chemicals. When moistened, the foam becomes
flexible and more effective at capturing particles.
4. Progressive Wear:
As the foam cleans, it gradually wears down, exposing fresh cleaning edges for
consistent performance.
