In recent years, the growth rate of solid wood furniture market has been faster than that of panel furniture. From time to time, the furniture market has spread rumors that panel furniture will decline. One of the most important reasons for this phenomenon is that there is a big difference in the environmental performance of the two. In the minds of consumers, most people think that solid wood furniture = environmental protection and panel furniture = no environmental protection. However, is this really the case?
Panel furniture suffers from "unfair treatment"
In recent years, the panel furniture products have burst into the news of excessive formaldehyde, the so-called "a mouse cricket, destroy a pot of porridge," panel furniture was labeled "not environmentally friendly", accompanied by rumored "black" rumors, "self-made "They cannot be alive," and the panel furniture unknowingly suffers from the "unfair treatment" of the user's concept.
For example, some consumers stated that “flat furniture is cheap, but its quality and environmental protection are not good, and if it is not enough, it will not be considered.†In fact, regardless of how the furniture is “black†or “black "It still occupies the mainstream of the "needed for civilians" market. The concept of "flat furniture = no environmental protection" needs to be eliminated.
As long as the plate is good, the furniture is environmentally friendly.
Substrates for the production of panel furniture are plywood, blockboard, particleboard, and fiberboard. Facing materials include thin wood, melamine impregnated paper, wood grain paper, PVC sheet, polyester paint. "The environmental protection of the panel furniture is not environmental protection, mainly depends on the quality of the sheet. The quality of the sheet is divided into E2 and E1. The higher the grade, the lower the formaldehyde emission.†Yang Yang, a third-party furniture material testing organization in China Say.
Yang engineer, who has been engaged in testing of furniture materials for many years, has contact with various man-made boards every day. He believes: “Plates also have good plates. Large plate manufacturers, advanced production equipment, high-density hardwood materials, and imported materials The excellent E1 grade sheet produced by adhesives is a good sheet.†In addition, he also said that “China-made sheet is not a rumor, China also has a good sheet, and some of the technologies and equipment even lead the country.â€
In addition, a number of furniture giants and experts have suggested that formaldehyde should not be treated as "aldehyde". As long as the highest environmental standard E1 is met, that is, the formaldehyde content per liter of formaldehyde released is ≦1.5 mg/L, the harm is basically negligible, and the absolute “zero formaldehyde†does not exist.
Edge banding does not reduce formaldehyde emissions
Another rumors about panel furniture is: “Only the edge is done, the release of formaldehyde will be reduced!†Yang engineers said that the furniture edge only represents the level of the process and does not reduce the formaldehyde emission. The commonly used materials for edge banding are hot-melt adhesives or other plastics. They do not contain formaldehyde, but there are other chemical substances.
Flat furniture less than 160 yuan per square meter can not be bought
One of the "characteristics" of Chinese-made products is that there is a difference of one hundred thousand miles in the same category. Insiders pointed out that "flat furniture is also divided into high-middle and low-end products. The products on the market can be described as a mixed bag, disrupting the market and ruining the reputation of plate furniture. Finally, consumers do not have a good impression of plate furniture."
Many plate-type furniture manufacturers are only using the signboards that use authentic plates. The actual use is inferior plates. The glue used by these plates is cheap, and the formaldehyde content is seriously excessive. A well-known panel furniture sales manager pointed out: “According to the area of ​​development, panel furniture with a price less than RMB 160 per square meter cannot be bought, because the panels used in such furniture must not be environmentally friendly.â€
In addition to the failure of the substrate, the finish material used by the unscrupulous manufacturer was not qualified. Panel furniture decorative materials are thin wood, melamine impregnated paper, wood grain paper, PVC plastic sheet, polyester paint surface. “The proportion of pollution sources of decorative materials is small. Nowadays, some large brands basically provide imported decorative paper products, which are relatively more environmentally friendly. There are also some brands of products using food grade materials – PP film.†Miss Wang is a certain The chief designer of the custom furniture company is also quite concerned about the materials. She reminds consumers to try to choose the big brands.
From this point of view, the public impression that "panel-type furniture is not environmentally friendly" does not mean that "flat furniture" is really bad. Prof. Xu Boming, a professor at Nanjing Forestry University and dean of the Shenzhen Furniture Research and Development Institute, once pointed out that “Do not desperately promote the idea that only solid wood is environmentally friendly.†Both furniture companies, businesses, and consumers should have a profound understanding of environmental protection. Awareness.
