Formaldehyde and TVOC Emission of Bio-Composites with Attached Fancy Veneer

Editorial summary
The study compared formaldehyde and TVOC emissions from wood-flour and polypropylene biocomposites carrying decorative veneer attached by hot pressing or adhesive, using both FLEC and a 20-litre chamber. Hot-pressed veneer produced the lowest emissions, whereas adhesive-bonded veneer showed the highest TVOC, and the two test methods gave broadly similar results.

FLEC use
Direct FLEC measurements
The authors used FLEC and a 20-litre chamber to measure emissions from differently manufactured veneer-biocomposite specimens; the primary purpose was to assess the materials and attachment methods rather than validate FLEC.
