Since formaldehyde-based adhesives are generally used in the production process of particleboard, the finished product will release free formaldehyde more or less. When the free formaldehyde content exceeds a certain limit, it will affect human health. It is a complicated process to detect the amount of formaldehyde released from the particle board. The formaldehyde emission of the particle board is simply and preliminary determined by the following method.
Stack unused slabs in a small house, close the doors and windows, and store them for a period of time before entering the room. If there is no pungent nose smell, it means that the amount of formaldehyde released from the particleboard is small, and the use will not affect human health; if the smell is large or there is tearing, it means that the formaldehyde emission of the particle board may be higher.
