Control of formaldehyde and TVOC emission from wood-based flooring composites at various manufacturing processes by surface finishing

Editorial summary

Formaldehyde and TVOC emissions were followed across manufacturing stages for laminate and engineered wood flooring, including application of decorative layers and final surface finishes. FLEC measurements show that finishing can substantially reduce emissions, although intermediate bonding steps may temporarily increase them.
