Polycarbonate - Similar to acrylic in appearance, polycarbonate is both  dishwasher safe and microwave-safe. This plastic is
extremely strong, durable, and possesses superior impact
resistance. Polycarbonate is shatterproof and will
maintain its appearance through repeated use and
washing. Acrylic - A molded plastic that is a good substitute or glass because of its clarity and transparency. Acrylic resists both scratching and breakage; its  color is also sunlight resistant.
Dishwasher rinsing agents, over time, can cause
cracking. Although acrylic is top-rack dishwasher safe,
hand washing of acrylic tableware is recommended for
maintaining the best appearance. Melamine - This plastic has good heat and scratch resistance. Its heat resistance means it is dishwasher-safe. However, it is not recommended for use in microwave ovens. Melamine is difficult to mold, and as such it is used for plates, bowls and other simple shapes. |
