How to choose and identify environmentally friendly furniture?
There have been complaints from Amoy friends that the purchased wooden furniture emits a very unpleasant smell; others have reported that furniture with qualified test reports may not be qualified furniture; claiming that furniture environmental protection is not necessarily environmentally friendly. There are hidden rules in the furniture industry, and many furniture companies are fooling consumers.
To address this issue, start with the source of harmful substances in wooden furniture.
There are three main sources of harmful substances in wooden furniture: 1. Substrate, which is the plate and solid wood we often say; 2. Adhesive, which is what we often say; 3. Paint, which is what we often say.
1. Substrate (plate, solid wood)
Wood furniture based on solid wood, such as chairs, its solid wood itself is a pure natural substance. Its chemical substances such as resin and tannin are also natural chemical components, which are basically harmless to the human body. Some chemicals in the solid wood itself also have odors. Depending on the composition of the chemical components, different woods will emit different shades and smells, some are fragrant, some are strong, but definitely not strong and irritating. A disgusting smell. In the sense of the material itself, solid wood is one of the most environmentally friendly wooden furniture materials.
For wood furniture based on wood-based panels, adhesives must be used in the manufacture of substrate-based panels. Whether it is MDF (MDF), particle board, plywood, blockboard, the basic material is also wood-based material. For example, MDF (MDF) is mainly wood fiber, and particleboard is mainly wood shavings. The splint is based on wood veneers, etc. Appealing for these materials is environmentally friendly. However, it must be used in the manufacture of molding a large number of adhesives, these are generally chemically synthesized. In addition to the presence of toxic substances in the raw materials themselves, other chemicals that are toxic are also produced during the synthesis of these adhesives. The most important ones in the adhesive are free formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene and other harmful chemicals.
2. Adhesive (glue)
Whether it is solid wood furniture or panel furniture, a large amount of adhesive is also used in the production process. Through the above analysis, we know that its harmful substances to the human body are no longer embarrassing.
Three. Paint (paint)
Solid wood furniture and high-grade veneer panel furniture, stickers, panel furniture are generally coated with paint (paint) for protection and decoration, and the paint production process is also a chemical synthesis process, which is used in the same process as the adhesive. Chemical substances that are harmful to the human body are present or produced during the raw materials and during the synthesis. The chemical substances harmful to the human body in the paint are also mainly free formaldehyde, benzene, toluene, xylene and the like.
From the above analysis, we can know that there are two main sources of chemicals harmful to the human body in furniture: one is adhesive (glue) and the other is paint (paint). As long as the chemical substances harmful to the human body in these two materials are controlled, the damage of these chemicals to the human body can be greatly reduced.
