The Secret of "0 Formaldehyde" of OSB Board

Far in the Southern Hemisphere lies the wondrous continent of Australia, home to stunning scenery and abundant resources. The Maori people, who have lived on this land for generations, revere nature and coexist with all things. The region abounds with a high-quality pinewood, a premium choice for wood-based panels. And that's where today's story begins-Qiannianzhou solid wood sliced ​​OSB board...

In fact, solid wood sliced ​​OSB board has been popular in Europe and the United States for decades, but it is little known in China. OSB's excellent product characteristics and "zero formaldehyde" environmental quality are deeply loved by Europeans and Americans who advocate nature and environmental protection.

OSB board application scenarios

Many people may be wondering, what does "zero formaldehyde" mean? Is there any difference between the E0 and E1 grades we hear and see when buying board materials? Next, Xiaozhou will explore the secrets of OSB's "zero formaldehyde" quality.

Solid wood sliced ​​OSB board, as the name suggests, is made from solid wood slices. From raw material processing to finished product storage, every step of the OSB board process ensures complete formaldehyde isolation. High-quality OSB board is made from only two raw materials: solid wood slices. Most European and American brands use Australian pine. This type of pine has a relatively low free formaldehyde content and produces minimal oil, making it ideal for processing.

The second raw material is MDI adhesive. MDI may be unfamiliar to many. It's a technological material with over 30 years of use in the board industry in Europe and the United States. It boasts environmental friendliness, quick hot pressing times, low usage requirements, excellent water resistance, and resistance to volatility and deterioration. Furthermore, no formaldehyde is added during the entire OSB board production process, further ensuring the environmental performance of the finished board.

Qiannianzhou solid wood sliced ​​OSB board also uses high-quality Australian pine as raw material. The logs grow in the temperate maritime climate zone at 36° south latitude, and are all carefully selected logs of golden age of 20-25 years. They are peeled and dehorned before entering the factory, and the core material that can be used is only the most core 30% A+ grade core material. This is done to maximize the guarantee that each OSB board has good and stable product characteristics. Of course, good wood goes with good glue. In order to achieve true "0 formaldehyde" quality, MDI glue is used, coupled with the first complete Siempelkamp OSB production line in China that was introduced from Germany at a cost of 500 million yuan, and through high temperature and high pressure processes, one sheet of truly "0 formaldehyde" board is produced.

Today, with rising living standards, environmental awareness is also growing. The generation of various harmful and toxic substances during home renovation presents a challenge for consumers. Despite hype and hype from various advertising channels, the general public remains largely in the dark. In particular, the extensive use of panel materials in home renovation, whether in cabinets or finished furniture, can harbor harmful gases such as formaldehyde, which poses a threat to the physical and mental health of family members. However, with the advent of OSB, these issues have been addressed!

Solid wood sliced ​​OSB boards not only guarantee zero formaldehyde, but also utilize a high-temperature, high-pressure production process to transform formaldehyde-free, environmentally friendly MDI into "super-strong polyurethane bonds" that penetrate every pore of the solid wood slices, effectively preventing gaseous and liquid water molecules from invading the core material. Furthermore, this high-temperature, high-pressure process simultaneously eliminates harmful substances such as parasites, fungi, and decay fungi, eliminating the need for chemical fumigation. This not only ensures the product's lifespan, but also fundamentally eliminates the residual (release) of chemical agents and potential harm to human health.

Well, that's all for today. OSB actually has many more secrets; "zero formaldehyde" is just one. OSB is a revolutionary product for the future home improvement industry, suitable not only for living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, but also for public spaces like basements, offices, and hospitals. We believe that in the near future, OSB products will gradually penetrate thousands of households, creating "green and healthy homes" for more families!
