which sheet has the lowest formaldehyde content In custom kitchens and wardrobes

Now we all know the importance of environmental protection in the decoration process, especially the "Freeform Formaldehyde Room Incident" last year, which even made people smell the formaldehyde in the decoration pollution. Formaldehyde is a serious health hazard, and its main source is the various boards used in decoration. At present, there is no cure for formaldehyde in decoration pollution. The most effective are two measures: one is to ventilate the odor and let the board emit The formaldehyde volatilized as soon as possible. The second is to control it from the source and purchase high-quality and environmentally friendly plates and furniture. Others, such as decoration pollution control, photocatalyst, activated carbon, can only assist in the treatment and have temporary effects. There are many types of plates on the market, and ordinary consumers may be dizzy with a bunch of nouns. So which kind of plate has the least formaldehyde content? Let's take a look at the comparison of the three major sheet materials.

First we need to understand what is causing the formaldehyde problem? Whether the furniture is environmentally friendly depends on two aspects: one is the plate itself, and the other is the manufacturer's technology. If the edge banding process is good, formaldehyde can be effectively sealed in the plate, so that the release amount reaches the standard, that is, it is released as slowly as possible. Of course, the most basic is to choose environmentally friendly sheet materials, which is equivalent to solving the problem of formaldehyde from the source to achieve true environmental protection, and you don't have to worry too much about formaldehyde.

Secondly, we must understand the environmental protection level of the board. Now many businesses are fooling around. What kind of E0 grade boards and completely formaldehyde-free boards do not exist. In the latest national standard implemented on May 1, 2018, E2 did not cancel E0. The new national standard has only one level, which is E1. Therefore, when we choose a plate, we must first meet the E1 standard. There are several kinds of boards in the market, such as particle board, ecological board, particle board, fiber density board and so on. There are many names for a board, so if you do n’t know it, you will be confused. In fact, there are only three types of mainstream materials. Let's compare them.

1.Solid wood particle board and particle board

Why put these two names together? In fact, solid wood particle board is high-density particleboard, which is the most used material for brands. Everyone goes to a big brand cabinet closet shop to look at the plates, and most of them are like this. Solid wood particle board is made of wood and other wooden fibers and other particles. It is also called particle board. It needs to be glued and has a large amount of glue. If manufacturers use inferior glue, formaldehyde pollution will be serious. And it is very easy to absorb moisture. If you put it in the kitchen and bathroom to make a cabinet, it will quickly absorb water and blow it off. Not recommended for use in wet areas. Its moisture absorption is lower than that of low-density particleboard, and its stability is stronger than that of low-density particleboard. Good solid particle board, in which the particles are uniform, while inferior ones are as rare as MDF.

2. Blockboard

A kind of plywood made of wood plank splicing or hollow slabs as the core board and made by glue pressing. Contains less glue than solid wood particle board. Reduce formaldehyde emission from sheet structure. The quality of the blockboard is determined by the core structure. Blockboard is afraid of tide. Its process requirements are also relatively high, and small manufacturers may not meet the requirements. Due to cost constraints, do not buy blockboards priced below 80 yuan on the market.

3.Plywood

It is made by pressing multiple layers of thin wooden boards. Although it also contains glue, the quality of the glue is the key to determining the amount of formaldehyde released. But after all, it is a multilayer sheet, and theoretically the amount of glue is slightly less than the particleboard. Multi-layer solid wood is currently the most commonly used material for handmade furniture. Small deformation and high strength.

Of course, it is not entirely possible to judge whether the board is environmentally friendly based on the amount of glue. The quality of the manufacturer's technology also directly determines the amount of formaldehyde released. For example, whether the side seal is good or not. Big manufacturers are more secure. Even if IKEA uses particleboard as the main material, it also meets formaldehyde emission standards. Big brands will strictly enforce environmental protection standards in the production process, so rest assured. Like Ege, so is it.
