                MELAMINE CHEMICALS, INC. SIGNS LETTERS OF INTENT

DONALDSONVILLE, LOUISIANA, AUGUST 10TH--Melamine Chemicals, Inc. (NASDAQ-MTWO),
announced today the signing of two letters of intent relating to the proposed
construction of a 66 million pound-per-year melamine plant near Memphis,
Tennessee, using the Company's patented M-II technology.

      One letter of intent was signed with a major U.S. corporation seeking a
long-term supply of melamine crystal for a variety of applications, most of
which represent new uses for melamine.  The letter of intent contemplates a
contract covering a large portion of the proposed plant's output.

      A second letter of intent was signed with Arcadian Corporation providing
a long-term customer for a portion of its Memphis-based urea production.  That
letter of intent contemplates an agreement under which the Company would
receive all of the new plant's raw material requirements from a single source
on a cost-plus basis.

      Fred Huber, president and chief executive officer, stated, "We have
explored a variety of options for expanding our operations through the
exploitation of our M-II technology, and we believe that the proposed plant in
Memphis presents an excellent, low-risk and timely opportunity for expansion
close to our home base in Donaldsonville.  We are particularly pleased that
much of the output from this plant would be dedicated to new melamine
applications.  We believe that this plant will enable Melamine Chemicals, Inc.
to fully demonstrate the efficiencies of the M-II technology and expand the
Company's ability to satisfy the growing melamine market.  If our negotiations
proceed according to plan, we hope that definitive agreements will be available
for consideration by our respective Board of Directors by year-end."

      Melamine Chemicals, Inc. is engaged in the production and marketing of
melamine, a specialty chemical having numerous industrial and commercial
applications.  The Company is also active in the development of new melamine
process and application technology.  The Company is one of only two producers
of melamine in North America and one of the three largest producers worldwide.
