Ecological board (Ecologic board), also known as melamine board, its full name is melamine impregnated adhesive film paper veneer wood-based board, is to soak the paper with different colors or textures in ecological board resin adhesive, and then dry to a certain degree of curing, it is paved on the surface of plywood, blockboard, particleboard, density fiberboard or other hard wood-based panels, and the decorative board is hot-pressed. Later, due to the 2008 China milk powder pollution incident, it was forced to change its name, and the industry is collectively referred to as the ecological board. , paint-free board).
Ecological boards mostly use blockboard as the base material and melamine impregnated paper as the surface. Compared with the previous sticker furniture, the ecological boards are fireproof, washable, wear-resistant, moisture-proof, anti-corrosion, acid-proof, alkali-proof, and non-stick. Dust, will not be moldy and blackened due to the dampness of the wall. At the same time, the ecological board has a natural log wood grain texture, which can be comparable to the log. Moreover, the ecological board is easy to construct and can be processed into furniture with different styles and strong textures. Since its birth, it has been rapidly applied to furniture manufacturing, flooring, and interior decoration.
The ecological board is a green and pollution-free decorative material. Since it does not need to be sprayed with paint, it can avoid secondary pollution. As a new product, the functions of veneer and plywood are combined into one. In terms of home decoration, The ecological board saves the production process, improves the added value of the product, and saves the decoration cost and labor cost for consumers. It is leading the new trend of home improvement and has become the new darling of the home improvement industry. In the manufacture of panel furniture, due to the variety of colors and patterns on the surface of the ecological board, it is widely recognized and favored by consumers. At the same time, the ecological board is easy to construct, easy to saw and cut, never cracked, trimmed, and trimmed with paint-free lines. , There is no need to worry about the ash after nailing, and there is no need to paint, which can save labor and paint costs after construction, and gradually become the preferred manufacturing material for furniture factories. For this reason, ecological boards have been widely used in home decoration, panel furniture, cabinets, wardrobes, bathroom cabinets, and other fields.
No matter what kind of board, adhesives are indispensable in the manufacturing process. Therefore, the formed board will release free formaldehyde, but it is harmless to the human body under a certain concentration. According to regulations, the environmental protection level of indoor boards must reach E1 level is safe and environmentally friendly, and be harmless to the human body. While recognizing the quality of the board, the most important thing to pay attention to is the formaldehyde emission of the board used in the furniture. The E1 environmental protection standard is a national mandatory health standard, and it is a mandatory "safety standard line". Because the formaldehyde content of 0.9mg/l is already a very safe numerical standard. According to relevant data, the formaldehyde content of drinking water is 0.9mg/l, that is to say, the formaldehyde content of the E1 standard reaches the drinking level.
The ecological board itself is made of wood, and it will also contain a small amount of formaldehyde, but it is mainly selected that the quality has passed the test, and the environmental protection level reaches E1, which is very safe. Moreover, the ecological board has an advantage over other boards in that it is free of paint. The advantage of not having to paint is that it reduces the emission of toxic and harmful substances caused by paint, and is more environmentally friendly.
The advantages of ecological board
Advantages: The ecological board has excellent fire resistance and moisture resistance. At the same time, it has the advantages of various colors, gorgeous colors, paint-free, dirt and wear resistance, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, waterproof, and moisture resistance, so it is often used in cabinets, bathroom cabinets, etc. in the product. In addition, the ecological board is not easy to change color, and it is not easy to peel. This board can be processed into veneers with different styles and very strong textures. The ecological board is efficient and fast in installation. It can be nailed, planed, sawed, without painting, and has no peculiar smell. It can be used immediately after installation, saving time, effort, and money.
Disadvantages: The ecological board has certain requirements for the cutting and edge sealing process. If the processing is not in place, it will easily lead to phase damage. For this reason, the ecological board cannot be engraved, and the relief type cannot be completed. The quality of ecological board products on the market is high and low, and the price gap is large, making it difficult for consumers to choose.
How to choose an ecological board
1. When choosing an ecological board, you must smell the smell of the ecological board. A good ecological board only has a slight log smell, which can be purchased with confidence; while a poor board will smell a pungent smell, indicating that the amount of formaldehyde released exceeds the standard. At the same time, when purchasing, it is best to ask the merchant about the formaldehyde emission level of the ecological board and ask the merchant to show the inspection report. If not, it is not recommended to buy!
2. The degree of deformation of the ecological board can also reflect the quality of the board. In the selection, touch the surface of the board with your hands, whether it is smooth and textured, without unevenness; press the board to test the density of the board. Good ecological board density has strict standards. , it will not bend easily even if pressed. Generally speaking, it is normal for the top two sheets of each pack to be slightly deformed before the finished product is made. After the finished product is deformed, it is a quality problem.
3. Check whether the decorative paper on the surface of the ecological board is firmly attached to the wood. This must be checked in advance, otherwise, it will increase the difficulty of processing and affect the appearance. Detection method: Use super glue to stick to the small pieces per square decimeter and pull hard to see if the paper is pulled off. Or buckle it with your hand on the cross-section to see if you can deduct the top paper.
4. Check whether the surface of the board is bright and smooth. The surface of a good ecological board has no problems such as blistering, flaws, depressions, deformation, and carbonization. In addition, the ecological boards of qualified quality are affixed with the anti-counterfeiting trademarks of the merchants on the surface, and the edges of the boards are marked with codes and stamps of qualified inspection.
