Editorial summary
Engineered flooring bonded with mixtures of melamine-formaldehyde resin and polyvinyl acetate was tested for formaldehyde and VOC emissions using several techniques, including FLEC and a 20-litre chamber. Increasing the polyvinyl acetate fraction reduced formaldehyde emissions, while the cross-method results supported the use of a VOC analyser as a preliminary screening tool.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
The author abstract explicitly lists FLEC among the techniques used to measure emissions from the flooring/resin formulations; the material-emission behaviour, not development of FLEC itself, is the primary contribution.
