Melamine is the type of plastic resin and Melmac is a brand name. They are the same product. It's like saying Tissue vs. Kleenex. Most tissues are about the same (well, the were before they started adding lotions, aloe, etc). Kleenex is a brand name of tissue just as Melmac is a brand name of melamine.

The likely word is melamine, a potentially toxic chemical that nonetheless forms a harmless plastic resin used in utensils and dinnerware (Melmac) and in coatings (Formica).Similar words are melanin, skin pigment, and melatonin, a hormone.
