In recent years, with the gradual improvement of people's awareness of environmental protection, many people will choose those so-called ring plates when buying custom furniture, so what is environmental protection plates? Let's take you to divide the new national standard ENF and E0 level, so that everyone will no longer step on the pit when they buy custom furniture.
What is environmentally friendly board?
Environmental protection plate refers to the use of independent research and development of intellectual property rights technology and advanced environmental protection equipment, the use of renewable resources, through the high-tech infrared photoelectric screening machine to extract the essence of strengthened glass fiber resin, and then through high temperature and high pressure heavy equipment composite into a new type of material. This kind of plate is smooth and smooth, uniform internal and external structure, and has the characteristics of good dimensional stability, high strength, environmental protection, flame retardant and good weather resistance.
Regarding the difference between the new national standard ENF and E0 grade plates, you can understand from the following aspects:
First, the manufacturing process
ENF board: It is made by mixing wood fibers with polymer resin and pressing them under high temperature and high pressure conditions. This sheet uses fibers with a lower resin content to maintain some breathability and strength.
E0 board: Similar to ENF board, it is also made by mixing wood fibers with synthetic resin. However, the E0 board uses low formaldehyde or zero formaldehyde resin to reduce formaldehyde emission and meet environmental protection requirements.
2. Formaldehyde emissions
ENF board: Formaldehyde emission is usually slightly higher than that of E0 board, but lower than the national standard limit. This is mainly due to the fact that ENF boards use common resins, which have relatively high formaldehyde content. However, after air-drying and hydrophobic treatment, ENF plates are able to reduce formaldehyde release by releasing moisture after they have been made.
E0 board: specially produced to reduce formaldehyde release, using low or zero formaldehyde resins, the formaldehyde emission is much lower than the national standard. This makes the E0 board an ideal choice for places with high indoor air quality requirements, such as home improvement, offices, etc.
When buying custom furniture, in order to avoid stepping on pits, consumers should pay attention to the following points:
1. Check the certificate and logo
Ensure that the home has a nationally recognized environmental protection test report, green product mark and certificate of conformity.
2. Observe the finish
The veneer material of high-quality environmentally friendly furniture is wear-resistant, scratch-resistant and color-resistant. Inferior boards may fade and turn yellow.
3. Smell the smell
Furniture with strong environmental performance usually has no pungent odor, while low-quality furniture may smell greater.
4. Check the edge banding
When purchasing, you should carefully check the edge banding of furniture panels.
5. Check the paint film
Make sure the paint film of the furniture is dry.
To sum up, understanding the difference between environmentally friendly boards and the new national standard ENF and E0 grade boards, and mastering the precautions for buying customized furniture will help consumers avoid stepping on pitfalls in the purchase process and purchase high-quality environmentally friendly furniture that meets their needs
