How to identify environmentally friendly wardrobes

For “environmental protection”, the industry and market-recognized standards are: the selection of wardrobes with less formaldehyde emission and the achievement of national E1 and above standards. In the face of many new tricks and new concepts created by merchants, how should consumers find real environmentally friendly wardrobes in the gimmicks of the merchants? Furniture fans will take you to find out.

Zero formaldehyde oxime without formaldehyde

Experts believe that: "The expression of zero formaldehyde is relatively inaccurate. At present, there are two standards for formaldehyde emission in the world: E0 and E1. China's E0 standard is basically equal to the European E1 standard, which is equivalent to only cubic per cubic. 0.05 mg of formaldehyde. After the high-quality sheet is sealed, the formaldehyde inside is basically impossible to release, so zero formaldehyde is actually zero formaldehyde emission, not that the material itself has no formaldehyde."

Green wardrobe, high price wardrobe

Although the price of the custom closet is relatively high compared to the finished wardrobe, since the major brands rarely promote a certain environmentally friendly wardrobe, the panels used in the same brand of wardrobe are at the same level. Therefore, consumers do not need to consider the price factor when purchasing an environmentally friendly wardrobe. In addition to the price of all solid wood custom wardrobes above 10,000 yuan, the price range of other MDF and particle board wardrobes is basically between 5,000 and 10,000 yuan, of which the price range of the wardrobe door is between 500 and 2000, and the price of the cabinet is at 200-800. The solid wood series belongs to the relatively high-end price in the closet. Due to the wet weather, more people will buy other series.

Test certificate ≠ test formaldehyde certificate

“The environmental testing items of general board include formaldehyde emission, benzene detection, water density, nail holding power, absorption thickness expansion rate, etc.” Therefore, consumers can judge the environmental performance of products according to the above test items when purchasing wardrobes. In addition, from October 1, 2005, the "Furniture Instruction Manual" issued by the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine of the People's Republic of China was officially implemented. The introduction of this standard of use means that in the future, consumers can get the information of the purchased furniture according to this detailed manual, no matter where they go to buy furniture, including the materials, performance, style, specifications and safety and health of the furniture. , environmental protection and other data. Therefore, this manual can also be used as a basis for consumers' rights protection, in order to refer to the environmental performance of the wardrobe.

Which is good for particleboard and MDF?

From the perspective of environmental performance : particle board (solid wood particle board) > MDF (density board)

The formaldehyde emission of the board is mainly derived from the glue used for bonding. The high-quality density board is made by hydrolyzing the wood into fibers and then re-compacting. In the production process, the fiber material needs to be bonded by applying an adhesive, and the amount of the adhesive applied is about From 7% to 12%, the environmental protection is not easy to control, and the amount of glue used for solid wood particle board is less than 5%. In comparison, MDF is environmentally friendly.

From the deformation resistance and load bearing of the board : MDF (MDF)> Particleboard (solid particle board)

MDF is more suitable for wardrobe than solid wood particle board, because it is better than flat wood grain board for flatness, load-bearing, anti-deformation and service life, and is suitable for wardrobe design. In general, the price of MDF is higher than that of solid wood particle board.

From the nail holding power and moisture resistance : particle board (solid wood particle board) > MDF (MD board)

The grip strength of the MDF is not as good as that of the particle board. It is easy to absorb moisture. The particle board has good moisture resistance and strong nail holding capacity. It is suitable for cabinet cabinets.

It can be seen from this that the choice of the board should not only take into account its price, but also its environmental performance and physical properties. Here are a few key points that I hope will help you.
