Effects of Environmental Factors on Formaldehyde Emission of MDFPs

Abstract:

The formaldehyde emission test of MDF decorated with a paper sheet impregnated thermosetting resin was done under the simulated indoor conditions. The results showed that formaldehyde emission decreases after being placed under the condition of high temperature and relative humidity. In addition, the formaldehyde emission of medium density fiberboard with paper impregnated thermosetting resins (MDFPs) increases along with the increase of furniture-bearing ratio.
