Like many of us, most people give little to no importance to indoor air quality. On the other hand, we all are well concerned about outdoor air quality and issues like air pollution and chemical emissions.

The sad fact is that indoor air quality matters most when it comes to our health, as we spend most of our time in the home rather than in the outdoors. And the indoor air is much more polluted than the outdoor air because the many objects in your can emit harmful chemicals in the long run. Decaying metals, paint, and old furniture, all are scientifically proven for polluting your indoor air with VOCs aka, volatile organic compounds.

What Is Formaldehyde Emission?

Formaldehyde is one of the major air pollutants found commonly in homes that causes serious health diseases like asthma, headache, nausea, and even lung cancer. The furniture that uses low-quality wood panels emits formaldehyde into the air.

The adhesives used to bond plywood all across the world contains formaldehyde as they either use Phenol-Formaldehyde or Urea Formaldehyde or Melamine Formaldehyde. Hence, formaldehyde emissions are to be expected from all plywood.

Why Plymarc Plywood?

We manufacture our plywoods using a special type of phenol-formaldehyde resin on a zero-gap lay-up system, which reduces the formaldehyde emission from plywood to its minimum value.

Plymarc is the first plywood brand in India to get certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) for the lowest emission rating. CARB is a body under Environment Protection Agency, which regulates formaldehyde emissions. The California Air Resources Board (CARB) set stringent standards for complying with the code for formaldehyde emissions, as E-0, E-1, and E-2, respectively. E-2 grade plywoods cause severe health conditions like Respiratory tract Infection, Eczema, Skin Irritation, and cancer. While E-1 grade plywood causes various allergies and nasal and eye irritation.

E-0 is recommended grade by the CARB for maintaining safe indoor air quality and all Plymarc Plywood are E-0 certified to reduce formaldehyde emissions to their bare minimum.
