Editorial summary

VOC emissions from UV-cured furniture and parquet coatings were measured under realistic conditions in both 1 m³ chambers and FLEC. The work identifies photoinitiators, fragmentation products and monomers and shows that climatic conditions strongly affect emission rates.

FLEC use

Direct FLEC measurements

FLEC was one of the test systems applied to UV-cured materials; the paper studies coating chemistry and emissions rather than developing the cell method.
