Which Board is more Environmentally Friendly

Pulished on Nov. 02, 2020

Before choosing environmentally-friendly panels for cabinets, I still want to popularize the common types of cabinets for everyone, so that when you choose, you will be more determined in your heart and will not be cheated by unscrupulous merchants.

Solid wood finger joint board

The solid wood finger joint board is a solid wood board formed by splicing multiple wooden boards. The top and bottom do not stick to the plywood. Therefore, the amount of glue used in production is very small and the material is more environmentally friendly, so more and more people are favored. The solid wood finger joint board belongs to the environmental protection board, and its texture looks very natural, giving people a feeling of returning to nature. But the solid wood finger joint board is easy to deform and crack. The quality of a good solid wood finger joint board is guaranteed but the cost is higher.

Blockboard

The most non-deformable board is still blockboard. It is also called "big core board", which is made of two pieces of veneer glued and spliced together.

Compared with a solid wood jigsaw, blockboard has stable dimensions, is not easy to deform, effectively overcomes the anisotropy of wood, and has higher transverse strength. Due to the strict adherence to the principle of symmetrical assembly, the warping deformation of the board is effectively avoided. Blockboard is mainly used in furniture manufacturing, door panels, wall panels, etc. Because it is spliced piece by piece of solid wood, the amount of glue is small.

Multilayer board

Multi-layer board, also known as multi-layer plywood, multi-layer plywood, is a board-like material with more than two layers made by cutting wood pieces into veneer or sliced wood into thin wood and glued with adhesive. Commonly used types of multi-layer boards are three plywood and five plywood. The multi-layer board has strong compressive resistance and an extremely small shrinkage expansion system, which can make up for some of the shortcomings naturally produced by natural wood (such as knots, small width, deformation, a large difference in longitudinal and vertical mechanics, etc.), but the multilayer board contains glue The amount of glue used is between the fine wood and particleboard. Edge banding should be done during construction to reduce pollution. Compared with other man-made boards, it is easy to deform.

Particleboard

Particleboard is a kind of particleboard, which is made by pressing sawdust and wood scraps with a binder. From the cross-section, it is composed of three layers, the outer two layers are fine particles, and the middle layer is relatively large particles. Formability is not strong, because the granular surface is uneven. Commonly used in closet cabinets, cabinets are generally processed by adding moisture-proof particles. Moisture resistance and mechanical properties are better than density fiberboard.

Density board

Density board, also called fiberboard, is a kind of man-made board. It is a board made of powdered wood and mixed with glue. Due to its impact resistance, high strength, uniform density after pressing, and easy reprocessing, MDF is a good material for making furniture at home and abroad, but the disadvantage is that it has poor waterproof performance and is easy to deform, so it is not suitable for kitchen and bathroom use; The largest quantity, it is best to choose low glue content when buying, Density board made of environmentally friendly glue.

Environmental protection grade

After understanding several common boards, the sister of the Qi family will also talk about the environmental protection level of the boards. Only by understanding the meaning of these environmental protection grades can you know whether the sheet you choose is truly environmentally friendly.

We use the European environmental protection standard E level to illustrate, which is the most common environmental protection standard E level on the market. According to European environmental protection standards, wood products are classified into three levels: E0, E1, and E2 according to the formaldehyde emission content.

E0 level (formaldehyde emission ≤0.5mg/L): It does not mean that there is no formaldehyde emission, but the amount of formaldehyde released is small, which is not completely harmless.

E1 level (0.5mg-1.5mg/L of formaldehyde emission): It is a board that is allowed to be used indoors, and it will have a pungent smell, but not strong.

E2 level (formaldehyde emission greater than 1.5mg/L): E2 level will have a strong smell, long-term living will induce many diseases, including leukemia, and it is not suitable for human living, especially children, pregnant women, and other people.

The environmental protection level of indoor panels must reach the E1 level to be considered qualified, which means that it is safe and environmentally friendly, so it will not cause harm to human bodies. E2 is rarely seen in the current market.

Several misunderstandings in choosing plates

Although we understand the advantages and disadvantages of different panels, as well as the significance of the environmental protection level of the panels. However, we will still fall into misunderstandings when we choose. Here are a few major misunderstandings, let's interpret them.

The sheet ring is not environmentally friendly and only depends on the amount of glue used?

From the point of view of the amount of glue, theoretically: solid wood finger-jointed board<BLOCKBOARD< the level, protection environmental higher The plates. large-brand choose must we that everyone remind to like would I misunderstanding, this of view in, Therefore, brands. big by produced boards particle than more be may blockboards these content formaldehyde but blockboards, produce able being manufacturers small many resulted has which boards, for those smaller much are blockboard requirements production example, For board. used glue amount actual know us difficult is its brand, specific considering without, However, board≈density board.
