Melamine

A durable, thermally fused decorative paper-and-resin surface bonded directly to particleboard or MDF substrate under heat and pressure. Melamine-coated panels are widely used for cabinet interiors (shelves, sides, and bottoms) because they are moisture-resistant, easy to clean, and available in solid colors and woodgrain patterns. They provide a finished interior at a lower cost than plywood or solid wood.
