When was melamine invented?                  

Melamine was first synthesized by the German chemist Justus von Liebig in 1834. In early production, first of all, calcium cyanamide was converted into dicyandiamide, which was heated above its melting temperature to produce melamine. Melamine has been used to put into production since the manufacturing of plastic household items began in the late 1930s.
