Bamboo and wood fiber siding does contain formaldehyde, but the content is low.
Bamboo and wood fiber integrated wallboard is mainly made of sawdust, wood chips, bamboo chips and other low plant biomass fiber, using the principle of polymer interface chemistry and the advantages of plastic filling modification. In the production process, adhesives or other additives containing formaldehyde may be used in order to make the material stick together better. Therefore, bamboo and wood fiber integrated wallboard will contain a certain amount of formaldehyde. However, these formaldehyde releases are usually under control and far below the national standard of 0.5 mg per liter. Specifically, the formaldehyde release of bamboo and wood fiber integrated wallboard is generally between 0.2 mg per liter to 0.3 mg per liter, reaching the E0 level standard, which is the current international highest health standard. Therefore, bamboo fiber wallboard is regarded as environmentally friendly materials, and the harm to the human body is greatly reduced.
When choosing bamboo and wood fiber wallboard, consumers should pay attention to the selection of regular brands and products produced by manufacturers to ensure that their formaldehyde emission meets national standards. At the same time, during use, attention should also be paid to maintaining indoor ventilation to reduce the accumulation and release of formaldehyde. If you are worried about formaldehyde, you can use a formaldehyde tester to test before moving in to ensure that the indoor formaldehyde concentration does not exceed the standard before moving in.
In addition, although bamboo and wood fiber wallboard has the advantages of environmental protection, fire prevention, moisture-proof, etc., it also has the disadvantages of relatively weak hardness and wear resistance and high price. Therefore, when choosing, you need to weigh your needs and budget and choose the product that suits you.
