Evaluation of Formaldehyde Emission from Particleboard Using the Large Chamber and Desiccator Method

Article Preview

Abstract:

The formaldehyde emission from particleboard using different method was investigated in this study. It was found that there is a good correlation between different air exchange rates as they relate to the same product-loading ratio in the large chamber. There was also an indication of a generic correlation between the large chamber and the two-hour desiccator test with a single product designated loading ratio, air exchange rate, and climatic conditions.
