The Secret to "Zero Formaldehyde" in OSB Boards

In the distant Southern Hemisphere lies the magical continent of Australia, a land not only breathtakingly beautiful but also rich in resources. The Maori people, who have lived on this land for generations, revere nature and coexist harmoniously with all living things. The region is abundant in a high-quality pine, a premium material for making engineered wood panels. And today's story-the Millennium Boat solid wood veneer OSB board-begins here...

OSB (Organic Strand Board) has actually been popular in Europe and America for decades, but it is little known in China. OSB's excellent product characteristics and "zero formaldehyde" environmental friendliness make it a favorite among Europeans and Americans who value natural and environmentally friendly products.

OSB board application scenarios

Many people may wonder, what is "0 formaldehyde"? How is it different from the E0 and E1 grades we usually hear and see when buying boards? Next, let's explore the secrets of OSB's "0 formaldehyde".

OSB (Organic Solid Wood Board), as the name suggests, is a type of board made from solid wood veneers. From raw material processing to finished product warehousing, the entire process of making an OSB board ensures complete formaldehyde isolation. A high-quality OSB board uses only two types of raw materials: the first is solid wood veneers, with European and American brands mostly using Australian pine. This type of pine has a relatively low free formaldehyde content, low oil secretion, and excellent processing characteristics.

The second raw material is MDI adhesive. Many people may be unfamiliar with MDI. MDI adhesive is a technological material that has been used in the board industry in Europe and America for over 30 years. It features environmental friendliness, short hot-pressing time, low dosage, excellent water resistance, and resistance to volatilization and deterioration. Furthermore, no formaldehyde is added during the entire OSB board production process, further ensuring the environmental performance of the finished board.

Qiannianzhou's solid wood veneer OSB boards also use high-quality Australian pine as raw material. The logs grow in the temperate maritime climate zone of 36° south latitude, and are all carefully selected from trees aged 20-25 years. Before entering the factory, they undergo peeling and trimming, leaving only the core 30% A+ grade core material. This process ensures that every OSB board possesses excellent and stable product characteristics. Of course, good materials require good glue. To achieve true "0 formaldehyde" quality, MDI glue is used, coupled with the first complete Simberlcomb OSB production line in China, imported from Germany at a cost of 500 million RMB. Through high-temperature and high-pressure processes, truly "0 formaldehyde" boards are produced.

Today, with the continuous improvement of living standards, people's awareness of environmental protection is also gradually increasing. However, the generation of various harmful and toxic substances during home decoration leaves consumers vulnerable. Although advertisements on various channels make extravagant claims, the general public remains confused. Especially in home decoration, the extensive use of wood-based panels, whether in cabinetry or finished furniture, inevitably harbors hidden dangers that threaten the physical and mental health of family members-formaldehyde (and other harmful gases). But since the advent of OSB boards, these problems can be easily solved!

Because OSB (Organic Solid Wood Board) not only guarantees "zero formaldehyde" addition, but also utilizes a high-temperature, high-pressure production process to transform formaldehyde-free, environmentally friendly MDI into "super-strong polyurethane bonds," which penetrate into every pore of the solid wood veneer, effectively preventing gaseous and liquid water molecules from intruding into the core material. Secondly, the 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 residue (release) of chemical agents and the potential harm to human health.

Okay, that's all for today. Actually, there are many more secrets about OSB; "zero formaldehyde" is just one of them. OSB is a revolutionary product for the future home improvement industry. It can be used not only in living rooms, dining rooms, and bedrooms, but also in public places such as basements, offices, and hospitals. We believe that in the near future, OSB products will gradually penetrate into thousands of households, creating "green and healthy homes" for more families!
