The melamine lining in fireman uniforms helps to provide thermal insulation and protection against high temperatures. It can withstand high heat levels and help to prevent burns in case of exposure to flames or extreme heat. The material is also fire-resistant, which adds an extra layer of safety for firefighters.

What are the properties of melamine?

Melamine is an organic base and a trimer of cyanamide, with a 1,3,5-triazine skeleton. Like cyanamide, it contains 66% nitrogenby mass and, if mixed with resins, has fire retardant properties due to its release of nitrogen gas when burned or charred, and has several other industrial uses. Melamine is also a metabolite of cyromazine, a pesticide. It is formed in the body of mammals who have ingested cyromazine.[2] It has been reported that cyromazine can also be converted to melamine in plants.[3][4]Melamine combines with cyanuric acid and related compounds to form melamine cyanurate and related crystal structures, which have been implicated as contaminants or biomarkers in Chinese protein adulterations.
