We oppose the behavior of "using formaldehyde to create anxiety and harvest IQ tax".
But at the same time, we have to admit that in a space, multiple things with excessive formaldehyde combined together can indeed threaten human health.
The formaldehyde issues such as cabinets, floors, wall cloth have been discussed very thoroughly, and everyone pays attention to it enough, so I won’t go into details.
In this issue, we will mainly talk about those "hidden formaldehyde emission sources".
- In this way, it can make everyone pay attention to these inconspicuous formaldehyde threats, improve their identification capabilities, and avoid household objects with excessive formaldehyde.
- Secondly, it also makes it easier for everyone to evaluate their formaldehyde status based on their actual situation and be clear about it.
1, brown mattress
Many people like to use coconut palm mattress . The raw material is the outer fiber of coconut shell , which is moderate in softness and hardness, and gives people a natural feeling.
However, this is limited to the environmentally friendly brown pads as shown in the picture above, also known as 3D brown pads, 3E brown pads, Coconut Dreamwei, etc., which are made by high temperature pressing, with clear layers, and can be moved by hands without any odor.
Generally, if merchants use good coconut palm mattresses, they are very happy to design their mattresses to be detachable for easy display.
On the contrary, if you are unwilling to display and cannot be disassembled, it is another kind of brown mat. Commonly known as glue brown and formaldehyde brown. Using urea formaldehyde glue as a binder, it is low in cost, hard and has a high formaldehyde content.
Currently, most brand manufacturers have abandoned this formaldehyde brown pad. Only some offline cheap models can be used. Please pay attention to identify them.
glue brown mats, the current hardest hit areas are some online, tatami mats and seat mats.
Due to the low average customer price and the online price is fierce, many merchants will create this glue and brown pad as filling for lower prices.
In addition, the glue-brown car seat cushions must be eliminated. The space is closed, which greatly affects the air quality in the car.
2, storage box
This is obviously an storage bag , but it can be called a storage box because it can be supported by several steel wires and the lining board at the bottom.
, it's a problem, it just appears on this lining board .
Whether it is a well-known brand or a miscellaneous brand of storage boxes, density board is also selected as the lining board.
and it is also a bare density board.
density board is the king of formaldehyde among all kinds of boards, especially those that have no outer skin, which releases even more severely.
Moreover, the density board is also afraid of water, fear of moisture, and easy to get mold.
Think about it, you increased your budget and avoided the density board from the whole house customization. Unexpectedly, I bought a few storage boxes for the wardrobe. The formaldehyde exceeded the standard, which was so frustrating.
Note that not only the above picture, but any folded and can be supported may be supported by density boards.
So, as I often say, the wardrobe uses a plastic drawer storage box.
There is no environmental protection problem.
is easy to pick up, and the layout of the wardrobe can be adjusted by adjusting the display of the drawer storage box. The size is also rich. Large ones can also be as large as quilts, and small ones can be as small as socks.
3, photo frame
The original material of the photo frame should be cork, which is the cork that has the same origin as the red wine plug.
I don’t know when it started, as if everyone had agreed, it all turned into the back panel of the density board.
is also a bare density board.
may be because it is cheap, and no one pays attention to it. In the photos, it looks very similar to cork (actually it is too different, the cork is soft and the density board is very hard).
You said, it’s okay if there are one or two in this house. If it’s to make the children’s room more warm, wouldn’t the entire photo frame wall harm the children?
is more recommended. Cork photo wall is safe, and you can add or delete photos at any time.
4, dressing table
MDF, is considered the king of formaldehyde mainly because it contains a large amount of glue.
has a large rubber content, which also gives MDF boards an advantage over other boards - they are strong in plasticity, so strong that they can be shaped at will, and even carved
dressing tables are mainly aimed at female customers. They have high requirements for appearance, so they must have rich styling.
So of course, we use density boards, especially dressing tables for online shopping, most of them are made of density boards. Especially those with curved shapes, back-shaped shapes, and wavy shapes, the density board is gone.
not only makes people sigh, there are too many pitfalls on the road to love beauty!
The owner of the picture used the dressing table he bought for a high price for more than a year. The countertop was broken, and he realized that it was full of density boards.
I regret it!
5, cabinet door with molding
I don’t want to talk about the cabinet here because of the board, edge sealing, and environmental protection. I have talked about it too many times.
is helpless. Yesterday, someone around me chose this kind of molded cabinet door (also called blister door ), and I didn’t know that the base material of this kind of cabinet door is density board.
A cabinet door is composed of two parts: epidermis and substrate
- molded door ( blister door) This is a description of the material of the outer crust, which is a kind of thing, including skin-sensitive membrane door, pet door, double-decorative panel , and paint door.
- and density boards are the same as particle boards, multi-layer boards, omega boards, , omega boards, , and solid wood boards.
Theoretically, molded doors are not necessarily density boards, but the reality is that the molded doors we choose are all shaped cabinet doors, otherwise why don’t we choose cheaper, double-decorative panels?
must have a shape, and then MDF must not be used. So the reality is: most of the molded doors we can buy are MDF as the base material.
There is also a sad news, the refreshing and perfect handle-free solution - the milling slot cabinet door, and the substrate is mostly MDF (a small number of multi-layer boards).
The good news is: In fact, as a cabinet door, you don’t have to worry too much about density boards. This kind of packages are tightly wrapped and restricts formaldehyde emission, so there is no big problem.
6, skirting board
General home decoration science will tell you that skirting boards are divided into: solid wood skirting boards, pvc skirting boards, and metal skirting boards.
But I didn’t tell you that in the solid wood, there is also a mixed density board skirting line.
skirting line is not as good as the cabinet door, and needs to be cut in many places, so the formaldehyde problem will be more prominent than the cabinet door.
What is more urgent is: density board skirting line, this thing is afraid of tide, and it will loosen and fall off as soon as it soaks. Especially southern families, they must avoid this pit.
is more recommended. Metal skirting boards are better looking, easier to take care of, and durable. The budget will be slightly higher.
6, curtains and other fabric
curtains, I didn’t expect this. In fact, any fabric, including clothes, may exceed the formaldehyde standard when taken home.
Because there will be a series of industrial processes such as colorants, anti-wrinkle agents, etc.
But don’t worry too much, formaldehyde, this thing can dissolve into water. Let’s go home and wash these fabric things before using them.
7, soft furniture
soft furniture (soft bag furniture), the benefits are obvious, softer and softer when leaning against the bed, leaning against the sofa.
, but it also brings a disadvantage - giving merchants an opportunity to take advantage of.
Often, looking at the beautiful furniture, if you open it carefully, you will find all kinds of problems.
For example, the soft-packing bed, the bed frame on the side and the backing board at the head of the bed are all made of density boards. The phenomenon of
is very popular, regardless of brand or product level. I went to the mall with a friend a while ago to see a bed, and asked for a soft-packed bed price of 5,000+.
I asked for a long time, and the salesperson couldn't tell what materials were used inside. Finally, I was forced to find the online introduction page of their home. I looked at the materials: head layer, silicone leather, solid wood, and medium fiber board.
Tell me, are you a scam? Just think about it, as long as the place you are leaning against is a place with genuine leather, soft bags, and the place you cover is all medium-density fiberboard (or MDF).
bed is still conscientious and uses solid wood all.
But soft-packed bedside table, this thing is basically a MDF board.
Like this, the density board that only exposes the bottom of the drawer is considered conscientious. You also know that the side of the drawer, or even the inside of the cabinet, will make you a bamboo and wood veneer.
is bad, the inner side is completely unmodified.
There is also a sofa similar to the bed. If the bottom is sealed with a density board, don’t touch it even if you touch it. The bottom is enough to see Sima Zhao’s heart.
8, hidden places of furniture
In addition to soft furniture, there are many other furniture that also use density boards, which talks about several severely affected areas.
Coffee table
This is an exaggerated one. Except for the frame, the rest use density boards and are completely exposed, which is simply a formaldehyde bomb.
This is not common in life. Most of them will use some density boards in hidden places. You can go home and find it. As long as the density board of your own coffee table is a wooden coffee table and has drawers, 90% of them have density boards.
In addition, the smaller wooden edge tables are mostly MDFs, so there is no big problem.
Storage rack
This beautiful wooden shelf costs several hundred yuan, one thousand or ninety percent, and they are also MDF boards.
Back panel of custom cabinet
You can also go home to see the back panel of your own custom cabinet, including cabinet , entrance cabinet, wardrobe, etc.
generally has three specifications, 5mm, 9mm and 18mm.
Some people have radically said that all whole-house customization without 18mm back panel is garbage. This is extreme, but 5mm and 9mm back panels do have obvious disadvantages.
cannot seal the edges, formaldehyde continues to be released.
is prone to moisture, deformation, and may also become moldy.
As for the stability of the structure, it is just a nonsense. The cabinet body without the backrest is also very strong, but the thin board does look a bit shabby.
is OK. This issue’s “hidden formaldehyde emission source” is almost over. If you don’t have enough, please add more.
again emphasized that the reason why we take stock of this is not to create anxiety, but to make everyone know.
- If there are too many such things at home, open the windows to ventilate. If you don’t like it, there is also an extra reason to replace it.
- If you have not renovated it yet, you can just set up a new home in the future and avoid such things.
In addition, remember that the most effective method of formaldehyde treatment is ventilation, so don’t let the formaldehyde treatment team cheat!
