| Abstract |
The report gives results of an investigation of pollution prevention options to reduce indoor emissions from a type of finished engineered wood. Emissions were screened from four types of finished engineered wood: oak-veneered particleboard coated and cured with a heat-curable, acid-catalyzed alkyd-urea sealer and topcoat (PBVST); oak-veneered handboard coated and cured with a stain, and a heat-curable, acid-catalyzed alkyd-urea sealer and topcoat (HBVSST); particleboard overlaid with vinyl (PBVY); and particleboard overlaid with melamine (PMB). Within the scope of the emissions and performance tests of the study, three types of coatings were found to have significantly lower emission factors of summed volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and formaldehyde relative to those for the heat-curable, acid-catalyzed alkyd-urea coatings; a two-component waterborne polyurethane, and ultraviolet (UV)-curable acrylate, and a UV-and-heat-curable multi-functional acrylate-free emulsion. Three types of engineered fiber panels were identified as having signficantly lower emission factors of summed VOCs and formaldehyde relative to those for particle-board: medium-density fiberborad made with methylene diisocynate (MDI), a wheat-board panel made with MDI resin, and a panel made from recycled corrugated cardboard. |
