Melamine
Melamine is an organic compound. It is often combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin. This melamine resin is a synthetic polymer and is heat resistant. Melamine can be easily molded when warm. It is used in various industrial applications. Melamine is a type of plastic.
so,
the main differences between the two are...
Bakelite is a thermosetting plastic, it cannot be molded again whereas Melamine, being a thermoplastic, can be molded any number of times adn reshaped.
The formation process of these two types of plastics also differs. Bakelite is a man-made (synthetic) material while Melamine occurs naturally (is organic).
