Explaining why wood-based slabs are so environmentally friendly

2025-11-04

In the wood-based panel industry, highly toxic formaldehyde is a major factor affecting the environmental friendliness of products, causing widespread fear. The "Six-Pole New Material, Light Luxury Finish" wood-based panel, tested by the Guangzhou Quality Supervision and Inspection Institute, has a formaldehyde emission level of ≤0.012mg/m³, close to that of an apple, far exceeding national standards and setting a new environmental standard for the wood-based panel industry.

01. Auxiliary Material: Formaldehyde-free MDI adhesive


The free formaldehyde in wood-based panels mainly comes from adhesives. MDI formaldehyde-free adhesive is the designated adhesive used in the production of wood-based panels, replacing the less environmentally friendly synthetic urea-formaldehyde adhesive. MDI formaldehyde-free adhesive, also known as a new type of medical-grade eco-friendly adhesive, has excellent characteristics such as being formaldehyde-free, having strong adhesion, and being waterproof and moisture-resistant. It is widely used in fields with high safety requirements, such as Lycra fiber, refrigerator liners, and human heart bypass surgery.

02. Advanced Formaldehyde Removal Technology


Wood itself contains trace amounts of formaldehyde, and the process of removing formaldehyde is closely related to the drying and hot-pressing processes used in board manufacturing. Wood-based slabs utilize digital drying technology to reduce the moisture content of the substrate, constant hot-pressing at 190℃, and fully enclosed high-temperature rapid heat treatment technology to powerfully and thoroughly remove the free formaldehyde components from the board. Multiple advanced formaldehyde removal processes completely eliminate formaldehyde.

03. Finished Product: Leading Grade A Quality


From a single tree to a single board, from raw logs entering the factory to finished products leaving the factory, every step of the process undergoes a rigorous quality inspection, systematically ensuring product quality and making every product traceable in terms of quality. Compared to ordinary boards, it has six major characteristics: ultimate environmental protection, ultimate waterproofing, ultimate fire resistance, ultimate shaping, ultimate stain resistance, and ultimate color retention. The product quality index reaches 100%, leading a new upgrade in industry quality.

Today, "advocating environmental protection and establishing new customs" has become a new direction for the development of the wood-based panel industry. Wood-based panels "emphasize quality and focus on environmental protection." From auxiliary materials and processes to finished products, formaldehyde emissions are firmly controlled within a safe range. Through practical production actions, they bring consumers truly more environmentally friendly, higher-quality, and more durable wood-based panel products, leading the way in environmental protection in China's wood-based panel industry.
