When you hear the word formaldehyde, what do you think of? Respiratory diseases, skin deterioration, damage to health, and even cancer, should be the first reaction of many readers when they hear formaldehyde.
Formaldehyde is an indispensable existence in modern industry, affecting human life in all aspects. However, because formaldehyde is harmful to health, there are often news of diseases caused by excessive formaldehyde, which makes many people talk about "formaldehyde" discoloration.
Many people don't know about formaldehyde, and although the harm of formaldehyde has been mentioned repeatedly, some people still think that formaldehyde is insignificant.
Formaldehyde rooms are not an exception!
According to the "20 / 20 National/People/Home/Residence/Environment/Protection/Report/Report", 31.3% of the 67,624 families participating in the survey exceeded the formaldehyde standard, and the formaldehyde excess rate was still higher than 15% within 5 years after the room decoration was completed.
Even if many families carefully select decoration materials, sometimes they will inevitably "fall into the pit".
We have tested many home improvement materials and found that some products with excessive formaldehyde are becoming more and more "smart" and better at hiding themselves.
For example, in the mouth of a business, MDF with a high risk of formaldehyde has become "fiberboard" and "high-density solid wood board".
As we all know, the volatilization time of formaldehyde will be very long, especially the formaldehyde contained in decoration materials such as wood-based panels, and the release time can be as long as 3-15 years.
Why does formaldehyde not disappear in the short term, but continues to volatilize? In order to pursue a better degree of adhesion, today's decoration materials usually mix formaldehyde and urea at high temperatures.
In the subsequent use process, the free formaldehyde in the material will be released continuously and slowly.
Many people think that formaldehyde is far away from us, but in fact, as an expert environmental expert pointed out: a few inconspicuous things in the house are formaldehyde households, and you must be careful when buying and using.
"Formaldehyde release" for 15 years: these 3 things in the house are reluctant to be lost, and formaldehyde is released every day
1. Textiles
Textiles should also be used in a large area at home, but at the same time, it is easy for everyone to ignore, have you never thought about how textiles can be polluted?
In fact, it is related to one of the processes of textiles, in the process of textile printing and dyeing, in order to improve some properties of fabrics, such as anti-wrinkle, anti-shrinkage, improve hardness and toughness, flame retardant, maintain color, etc., some chemicals will be added to promote these properties. Among them, formaldehyde usually comes from resin finishing agents and solid agents, waterproofing agents, softeners, adhesives, etc.
There are many common textiles in the home, such as curtains, wall coverings, carpets, etc., among which curtains need everyone's attention, because the process of curtains will be more complex and more chemicals will be used.
Second, the curtain
In the era when young people are the main force of decoration, home theaters have gradually replaced the status of TVs, but many people just think that expensive curtains and cheap ones are only different in clarity, in fact, there is another thing you will ignore - curtains.
Where does the formaldehyde in that curtain come from?
As far as the multi-purpose mesh cloth is concerned, it is generally a layer of projection layer on the surface of the mesh cloth, and the projection layer is generally made of PVC material, with the popularity of gray screen, the PVC material of the projection layer is generally injected into the pigment to make gray or directly coated with pigment on the surface of PVC.
This additional layer of PVC material must be linked to the mesh cloth through glue, and formaldehyde is in this "glue". Those who have read our previous article should know that as long as there is glue in the material, it will definitely not be able to achieve "zero formaldehyde", and it can be said that the quality of the glue directly determines the degree of screen pollution.
3. Palm pads
If you have ever bought a mattress and believe that you have heard of palm mats, have you studied the large amount of glue in palm mats?
In the past, coconut palm mattresses were woven by hand, but coconut palm with too short fiber was difficult to use to weave into a mattress, so the coconut palm of short fiber was wasted. Later, in order to reduce costs, some companies found that these staple fibers could be glued together and then pressed and sold.
The cheapest is hard brown, the hard brown is almost all glue, and urea-formaldehyde glue (urea and formaldehyde are mixed together), and then the brown silk and urea-formaldehyde glue are mixed together to make a press-paste, which is actually the same as the palm fiber version of the process, but the brown fiber version is sealed, and the formaldehyde release will be less.
There is also a soft brown, which has a particularly soft texture and can be twisted and turned at will, but it is all made of glue, and it is glue when you tear it off.
If you have these kinds of things at home, Xiaobian recommends that you replace them as soon as possible, or remove formaldehyde as soon as possible, because these items may release toxic gas for "15 years", and if you live in the same room with these "release originals" for a long time, our health will be easily threatened, don't take it seriously!
In fact, the best way to deal with formaldehyde is to solve it from the source, with scientific and safe formaldehyde scavengers, so that the formaldehyde problem can be well solved.
Formaldehyde removal is not a project that can be completed in a short period of time, the formaldehyde emission time is generally 3-6 months, it is necessary for us to continue to remove formaldehyde, the following Xiaobian will share with you a few effective formaldehyde removal products, the first of which is Xiaobian himself used one, the effect is very good.
1: Olvway formaldehyde scavenger:
Allova formaldehyde scavenger adopts a new "amino acid + photocatalyst" formaldehyde removal technology, which combines the characteristics of physical removal and chemical decomposition, and provides an innovative solution for the rapid and efficient degradation of formaldehyde molecules. The core is the fusion of amino acid technology and photocatalyst technology, which reacts with air to produce carbon dioxide and water, and does not produce harmful components to the human body. Through adsorption and chelation, amino acid technology effectively adsorbs and fixes harmful gas atoms and molecules such as formaldehyde on the surface of the material, improves the degradation and removal efficiency, avoids its re-release into the indoor air, and ensures the improvement of indoor air quality.
Olvway Formaldehyde Scavenger: The ingredients are safe and reliable, free of oxidants, alcohol and fragrance, and very safe for home use. Tested by professional testing institutions, the efficiency of this product to remove formaldehyde is as high as 91%, which is a favorable player for removing formaldehyde.
2: Activated carbon:
Activated carbon itself has a certain effect on the adsorption of harmful substances and volatile harmful gases, so it can be used to effectively adsorb formaldehyde, especially in the newly renovated indoor environment or in the case of excessive formaldehyde, it is an effective choice.
Three: Yiya formaldehyde deep scavenger: The composition of this formaldehyde scavenger is mild, which effectively improves the free state and the formaldehyde inside the plate, and the decomposition products are pollution-free.
