I. Common Board Types
| Board type | Composition materials | advantage | shortcoming |
|---|---|---|---|
| solid wood boards | wooden strips or timber | Environmentally friendly, uses less glue | High cost, prone to deformation |
| Multi-layer board | Wood chips + glue | Stable structure and good environmental performance | A large amount of adhesive was used. |
| MDF | Wood flour + glue | Smooth surface, easy to process | High formaldehyde content, poor moisture resistance |
| Ecological board | Wood chips + wood strips + glue | It has a soft texture and is environmentally friendly. | Poor load-bearing capacity |
| Particleboard | Wood chips + glue | High stability and cost-effectiveness | High glue content, poor environmental performance |
| OSB | Large wood chips + glue | High stability and cost-effectiveness | The surface is rough and requires finishing treatment. |
II. Environmental Protection Level (from highest to lowest)
- ENF levelFormaldehyde emission ≤0.025mg/m³, with the highest environmental performance.
- F4 star ratingAccording to Japanese standards, formaldehyde emission level is ≤0.3mg/L.
- E0 levelFormaldehyde release ≤0.5mg/L.
- E1 levelFormaldehyde emission ≤1.5mg/L, which meets the national mandatory standard.
It is recommended to choose ENF or F4 star grade boards to ensure a healthy living environment.
