Melamine refers to a product made by laminating several layers of paper using a specific water-proof resin. I am not sure of the name of the resin used, but this technique puts melamine into a class of materials refered to as "phenolics". If you look inside of many Kitchen cabinets, you will see a white, slightly textured surface, that is melamine in its most common usage.

It is primarily used to produce melamine resin, which when combined with formaldehyde produces a very durable thermoset plastic. This plastic is often used in kitchen utensils or plates, and is the main constituent of Formica and Arborite. Melamine tile wall panels are known as whiteboards. Melamine is also used to make decorative wall panels and is often used as a laminate. Melamine is produced from urea, mainly by either two methods: catalyzed gas-phase production or high pressure liquid-phase production.
With up to 6 active hydrogen sites, melamine reacts with formaldehyde and methanol to form a large family of resins. A resin ratio of 2 moles formaldehyde to 1 of melamine is used extensively to impregnate countertop surface paper laminates, making them flame and boil resistant. A resin ratio of 6 moles of formaldehyde to 1 of melamine followed by excess methanol forms a methylolated crosslinking resin used to impart heat and solvent resistance to numerous latex-based coatings.

A white crystalline compound, C3H6N6, used in making melamine resins and for tanning leather.
A plastic made from such resin.
common name for 2,4,6-triamino-1,3,5-triazine. Melamine is a trimer (polymer) of cyanamide, H2NC[tbond]N, and is synthesized from calcium carbide. It condenses with formaldehyde to give a thermosetting resin. Melamine resins have many uses, including the manufacture of plastic dishes under the trade name Melmac.

It is a polymer plastic that is mostly used as countertops and such. I have also seen a paint made of this that can be used to paint over counter top when you want to change the color...
