"Zero Formaldehyde" into the merchant's gold signboard experts said that it is almost impossible to achieve

In recent years, the home furnishing industry has started a zero-formaldehyde storm, and it seems to be getting more and more powerful. The reporter's investigation found that in the major furniture stores, furniture with green environmental protection and zero formaldehyde flag is everywhere. The common people pay more and more attention to the health and environmental protection of the home environment. Although zero-formaldehyde furniture is more expensive than ordinary furniture, it is still favored by many consumers. Most people say that they don’t have to spend money to buy a peace of mind. However, Life Times "When the reporter visited several large furniture stores in Beijing, they found that the merchants had different opinions on zero-formaldehyde furniture, and each had its own signboard. Does zero formaldehyde furniture really exist?

Zero formaldehyde into a gold signboard

On December 1st, the reporter visited several home shopping districts such as Beijing Wukesong Jimei Furniture City, Shilihe Building Materials Market, and Real Home Yuquanying Store. The reporter first interviewed a few consumers who were buying furniture. Everyone thought that zero formaldehyde is that furniture and building materials will not release any formaldehyde, and this seems to be in line with the concept of zero formaldehyde. However, during the visit, the reporter found that merchants claiming green environmental protection, zero pollution and zero formaldehyde have different standards for this concept. In addition, the evidence to see zero formaldehyde is not that simple.

The reporter came to the Shilihe building materials market. The salesperson of a brand furniture store told reporters that the shop's sheet furniture is mainly zero-pollution, green and environmentally friendly, and can be used with confidence. When introducing how to be environmentally friendly, the sales staff said with one strength: Our furniture can be said to be zero formaldehyde, in line with European standards, using top environmentally friendly sheets. In another furniture store that specializes in sheet metal wardrobes, the salesperson also said: This wardrobe is made of environmentally friendly materials, formaldehyde-free, and harmless to the body. However, when the reporter asked to look at the furniture test report and certificate on zero formaldehyde or environmental quality, they were rejected. Subsequently, the reporter asked the five or six stores here with the same question, and the answer was exactly the same.

In the Yuquanying store of the home, the reporter asked about the situation of zero formaldehyde in the furniture of several plate furniture brands, but got four completely different answers. One of them said that the product meets the national standard is zero formaldehyde; some said that its products meet the European standards, absolutely zero formaldehyde furniture; some emphasize that the product meets the Japanese standard can truly be called zero formaldehyde, the promotion of other brands are deceptive There are also businesses that say that their furniture formaldehyde content tends to zero, so it can be regarded as zero formaldehyde furniture.

During the visit, the reporter also found that the price of zero formaldehyde furniture is much higher than that of ordinary materials. In the shop of the main wardrobe of Shilihe Furniture City, a set of zero-formaldehyde combination wardrobes is more than 10,000, while the ordinary one is priced at more than 5,000, and the price difference is nearly doubled. According to the reporter's understanding, from the current general quotation situation, as long as the furniture is based on the concept of zero formaldehyde, the value is at least 20%-30% higher than the ordinary material.

There are also some plates on the market with the concept of zero formaldehyde. At present, domestic famous brands such as Cobo Boloni, Shuaikang and Hao Laike have applied such plates in some furniture. According to reports, the plate is made of recyclable plant fiber (such as rice straw), and MDI ecological glue is used to replace the traditional urea-formaldehyde resin glue in the processing technology, thereby achieving zero formaldehyde emission.

Zero formaldehyde is almost impossible

Formaldehyde belongs to Class A carcinogens. It is expected that in the environment where formaldehyde exceeds the standard, the eyes, skin and respiratory system are easily stimulated, which may cause symptoms such as chronic respiratory diseases and chromosomal abnormalities. High concentrations of formaldehyde are harmful to the nervous system, liver, etc., and can cause cancer in the mouth, skin, etc. in severe cases.

In the end, what is zero formaldehyde? Song Guangsheng, director of the National Indoor Environment and Indoor Environmental Product Quality Supervision and Inspection Center, said that there are three main types of standards for formaldehyde content in qualified markets: one is China's national standard, and the formaldehyde content is not higher than 1.5 mg. / liter; one is the European standard, which stipulates that the formaldehyde content is not higher than 0.5 mg / liter; the most stringent is the Japanese standard, not higher than 0.3 mg / liter. The so-called zero formaldehyde refers to the formaldehyde content of 0. Most of the furniture on the market currently needs to be processed through multiple processes such as veneering, painting and edge sealing, among which a large amount of adhesive will be used, and formaldehyde is derived from this. Therefore, it is almost impossible to achieve zero formaldehyde, and the best is only approaching zero.

During the visit, the reporter not only heard the salesman mentioning the quality of the board and the zero-formaldehyde technology, but also mentioned how the furniture edge-sealing technology is superb: even if the adhesive in the board contains formaldehyde, the side is sealed very tightly. So formaldehyde will not run out. In this regard, Song Guangsheng said that the side of the sheet is well sealed, which can reduce the amount of formaldehyde released to a certain extent, but it cannot be completely eliminated. In addition, the main material used in the edge sealing process is also a binder, and there is still a release of formaldehyde.

For many merchants claiming that the formaldehyde content of furniture made from straw-based zero-formaldehyde sheet is zero, Wang Jun, an expert member of the China Forest Products Industry Association and director of the Forest Products Inspection Center of the State Forestry Administration, pointed out that straw is a kind of Natural plant fiber, which also contains a very small amount of formaldehyde, and whether the straw uses formaldehyde-containing glue in multiple processing steps, whether it will release formaldehyde in the later stage, can not listen to the words of the merchant, or take the authoritative test report.

No need to talk about aldehyde color change

The reason why zero-formaldehyde furniture can become a selling point in the market is that the root cause is the fear of formaldehyde. The horrible information such as leukemia caused by formaldehyde-induced carcinogenesis of formaldehyde is circulating throughout the life. For such rumors, Song Guangsheng reminded that the hazards mentioned here are caused by excessive formaldehyde in the environment, as long as the amount of formaldehyde released in the plate meets the national standard E1, that is, the formaldehyde emission is less than 1.5 mg / liter, there is nothing to the human body. harm.

Wang Jun also pointed out that formaldehyde is not so terrible. It also contains a small amount of formaldehyde in food. For example, the formaldehyde content in beer is 2 mg/L, and the fruit also contains a certain amount of formaldehyde. In addition, the content and release of formaldehyde are not the same concept. If the substrate contains formaldehyde, but the release amount is small, it will not affect the human body; if the substrate used is good in sealing, some formaldehyde release of artificial board The amount is smaller than natural wood.

Since the source of formaldehyde is a large amount of binder used in the production of the sheet, when purchasing furniture, the consumer can ask the manufacturer for the formaldehyde content test report of the furniture. Song Guangsheng also said that for formaldehyde, plants with large leaf bodies have a purifying effect, such as spider plant, because this plant has a strong ability to produce photosynthesis and helps to produce fresh oxygen. In addition, some activated carbon can be placed in a small space such as a closet or a cupboard, or the air quality of the living room can be improved by using an air purifier.
