Do man-made panels contain formaldehyde?
Formaldehyde in wood-based panels, such as boards, MDF, particleboard, wood flooring, is mainly produced in the manufacture process of formaldehyde resin. This kind of resin has strong adhesiveness, and has the function of strengthening board hardness, pest prevention and corrosion protection, and it is cheap. It is the preferred cementing material for artificial board. Because of the formaldehyde in the floor will not immediately evaporate, but because of different temperature and humidity conditions slowly volatilization, volatilization time of more than ten years.

The adhesive is the main ingredient is formaldehyde + urea = urea formaldehyde resin, which itself is harmless, but because of the production process to different levels of formaldehyde dissolved into urea in the production process is not the same degree, good manufacturers, formaldehyde solution can reach more than 98%, but not your process how good. There is formaldehyde molecule in an unstable state, that is to say, why would contain formaldehyde in artificial board; that is to say, one of the main factors in a long time to slowly release formaldehyde.
