Why does mm melt with water?

Melamine formaldehyde (also known as Melamine) is a type of plastic resin that is water-soluble. When the melamine compound comes in contact with water, the hydrogen bonds between the water molecules disrupt the weak forces holding the melamine molecules together, causing it to dissolve or "melt" in the water.

If the dinnerware does not state 100 Melamine then what other chemicals are combined to manufacture it?

When you purchase melamine dinnerware, make sure you find out whether it is made of 100% melamine. There are a lot of melamine dinnerware manufacturers who use another material called urea-formaldehyde to replace or mix with melamine-formaldehyde to reduce cost. These are inferior quality melamine and it should also be called as imitation products because they are not made of 100% melamine (melamine formaldehyde. 100% melamine tableware are made of purely melamine formaldehye which is guaranteed food safe and able to withstand high temperatures whereas urea-formaldehye is not suitable to for food contact products because they cannot withstand high temperatures. Therefore they can only be used on non-food contact products such as electrical appliances. Therefore, it is not that all melamine dinnerware ares unsafe. It is those inferior quality melamine products (mixed with urea-formaldehyde) that is not safe for manufacturing dinnerware.
