Is there really zero formaldehyde? Is there really zero formaldehyde furniture

Recently, Hollywood, a custom wardrobe brand, and Wanhua Hexiang Board, a straw board company, jointly launched a zero-formaldehyde straw board wardrobe. The product claims to use formaldehyde-free sheets – boards made from recycled plant fibers such as rice straw, apple branches, etc. In the processing technology, MDI ecological glue is used to replace the traditional urea-formaldehyde resin glue, so as to achieve zero formaldehyde release.

The reporter learned in the market that in addition to Hollywood, there are other furniture and cabinet brands on the market that have also played the slogan of "zero formaldehyde", and its core technology is the same as that of Hollywood. The price of such products is often about 20% more expensive than that of ordinary furniture.

At present, there are more children's furniture on the market, which is known as "zero formaldehyde", and it is often more expensive than similar furniture, but because of the "environmental protection card" it plays, many parents are willing to pay more out of their pockets. However, experts believe that formaldehyde-free furniture is almost non-existent, and this kind of product promotion is unscientific. Ms. Zhang from Qingdao bought her son a set of "formaldehyde-free" children's furniture last year, but after buying it, she found that the furniture still had a pungent smell.

Now I open the wardrobe door and desk drawer every day during the day to disperse the smell, and I have to close it again when I sleep, and I don't dare to put anything in the drawer. Ms. Zhang said.

The reporter visited several furniture cities in Qingdao and found that there are many children's homes under the banner of formaldehyde-free, which has also become the first choice of many consumers. In a furniture city near Fuzhou Road, a salesperson who claims to be a children's furniture counter imported from Germany introduced to customers that all furniture here is water-based paint, non-toxic, harmless, and the safest for children. The reporter saw that although the "Quality Inspection Report" was hung here, the formaldehyde content of the furniture was not clearly marked as zero.

No formaldehyde-free furniture.

The so-called "zero formaldehyde" products are only less after being tested by formaldehyde testing institutions, not nothing.

Causes of formaldehyde in the home:

1. Carrying rate:

The so-called load-bearing rate refers to the ratio of the area of furniture exposed to the air to the volume of the room, and the larger this ratio, the higher the concentration of formaldehyde. Therefore, when the function is basically satisfied, the number and volume of furniture in the indoor space should be minimized, so as to reduce the formaldehyde emission in the furniture.

2. Decoration method:

In the specific implementation process, attention should be paid to the selection of low formaldehyde emission adhesives, various decorative materials and coatings and reasonable processes to ensure that new formaldehyde release is not triggered after decoration.

3. Diffusion pathway:

It is important to remind everyone that the importance of panel furniture is obvious. At the same time, when designing furniture, under the premise of satisfying strength and structure, you can use thin plates as much as possible.

4. Aging time and conditions:

The formaldehyde emission concentration of furniture was positively correlated with the aging time after production. Therefore, it should be aged for a period of time before use, and placed in a high temperature and high humidity environment during aging to accelerate formaldehyde emission and reduce pollution in future use.

5. Use environment:

The use environment in the home has a great impact on the formaldehyde emission of furniture. Under the premise of conditions, air conditioning and fresh air system devices can be used to adjust the indoor temperature, humidity and fresh air volume, so that formaldehyde emission can be moderately controlled.

Ways to speed up formaldehyde removal:

1. Open the doors of furniture and the doors and windows of the house to allow air circulation, which is conducive to the diffusion of formaldehyde gas.

2. Light a few candles at home to facilitate formaldehyde gas combustion.

3. Put a few activated carbon packets at home, which is conducive to the adsorption of formaldehyde gas.

4. Placing a few pots of green plants at home is conducive to the adsorption of formaldehyde and other gases to produce oxygen.

5. Turn on an air purifier at home, which is conducive to filtering harmful gases such as formaldehyde.

Formaldehyde is a lot of decoration will exist after the release, the release of formaldehyde will also be harmful to our body, it is impossible to achieve zero formaldehyde in decoration, it is present in our interior decoration of various decoration materials, so how to reduce the content of formaldehyde? Let's take a look at the following contents. 1.

Ventilation methodThe ventilation method is the most well-known and most economical method, but it takes a long time. The emission period of formaldehyde is usually 3 to 15 years, and generally after the decoration of the new house, it is necessary to open the windows for ventilation for more than four months, so that the indoor formaldehyde content can be reduced to a relatively safe range. For friends who are in a hurry to move in, this method is not very suitable.

2.Activated carbon adsorption methodSolid activated carbon has the characteristics of many pores, and the smaller the particles of activated carbon, the better the adsorption effect. However, the adsorption capacity of activated carbon is small, in a certain room area, the amount of activated carbon is too small, and the effect of activated carbon is also very small, and activated carbon also has a disadvantage that it is unstable, and the formaldehyde adsorbed into it may also be emitted to produce secondary pollution.

3.Plant absorption method plants have a strong ability to absorb formaldehyde, such as cactus, spider plant, reed, ivy, iron tree, chrysanthemum, etc. Generally speaking, plants with large leaves and vanilla have a better effect on absorbing formaldehyde, such as spider plant, tiger tail orchid, etc.

There are many ways to remove indoor formaldehyde, I won't introduce them one by one, the above methods are also good, friends in need can learn from it. The methods of removing formaldehyde are introduced here, these methods are simple and practical, and friends in need may wish to collect them.
