Kim, Ki-Wook; Kim, Sumin; Kim, Hyun-Joong; Park, Jin Chul Formaldehyde and TVOC emission behaviors according to finishing treatment with surface materials using 20L chamber and FLEC Journal Article In: Journal of Hazardous Materials, vol. 177, no. 1, pp. 90 - 94, 2010, ISSN: 0304-3894. Abstract | Links | BibTeX | Tags: Field and laboratory emission cell (FLEC), Formaldehyde, Small chamber, Surface materials, Total volatile organic compound @article{KIM201090,Formaldehyde and TVOC are emitted from wood-based panels that are made using wood particles, wood fiber, wood chips and formaldehyde-based resins. This study examined the formaldehyde and TVOC emission behavior of medium density fiberboard (MDF) overlaid with three types of uncoated lignocellulosic surface materials (oak decorative veneer, low pressure melamine impregnated paper and high pressure melamine impregnated paper) and four types of coated surface materials (coated paper, two types of finishing foils, and PVC) using the Field and Laboratory Emission Cell (FLEC) method and a 20L small chamber method. The uncoated lignocellulosic surface materials exhibited lower formaldehyde and TVOC emission levels. The coated surface materials did not show reduced TVOC emissions but the formaldehyde emission was reduced in the 20L small chamber test. In the FLEC test, both the uncoated lignocellulosic surface materials and coated surface materials showed lower TVOC and formaldehyde emissions from MDF. |
