E0 Grade – one of the Highest Formaldehyde Emission Standards
E0 grade is one of the highest Formaldehyde Emission standards for plywood, hardwood plywood sheets, blockboard, melamine faced board, floor, MDF, HDF, Particleboard, OSB and other Wood Based Panels.
E0 grade plywood and other wooden boards are allowed to be used in interior environment without extra treatment .
About Formaldehyde Emission rates
Formaldehyde is a chemical compound used to produce industrial resins/glues, coatings. The resins and coatings are used for producing plywood, wood panels.
Formaldehyde has a strong smelling and is harmful to human health. In order to reduce the interior environment pollution and protect human health, the wood industry standards set limit levels for Formaldehyde Emission rate. According to different standard, these limit levels include E0, E1, E2, CARB P2, or F4 etc.
E0 Formaldehyde Emission rate
In China, the grade of Formaldehyde Emission of Wood Based Panels are E0, E1, E2 . E0, E1, E2 are the Formaldehyde Emission standards for PLYWOOD , MDF, HDF, Particleboard, OSB, veneered plywood, blockboard, melamine faced board, floor.
According to the national compulsory standard GB18580-2001<Limit of Formaldehyde Emission of Wood-based Panels and Finishing Products>, all wood-based panels should meet E1 or E2 grade.
In China, E0 (‘0’ is the number ‘0’, not letter ‘O’) comes from the national standard GB/T9846.1- 9846.8-2004 <Plywood> . However, E0 grade is not compulsory standard in China. But many manufacturers are trying to adopt E0 standard in production. Consumers care more about improving indoor air quality at home . They prefer plywood and furniture with low Formaldehyde Emission rate when decorating their houses.
The standard of E0, E1, E2 according to China standard (desiccator test value):
E0≤0.5mg/L
E1≤1.5mg/L
E2≤5.0mg/L
E0 Plywood
E0 plywood is the healthiest or safest interior plywood,it’s super flat and durable. Our E0 plywood is ideal for making premium furniture and home decoration.
