The E1 European formaldehyde emission standard is standardized by the European Committee for Standardization, also known as CEN (Comité Européen de Normalisation). CEN is responsible for developing and maintaining European standards across various industries, including the formaldehyde emission standards for wood-based products. The E1 standard sets limits on formaldehyde emissions from these products, contributing to better indoor air quality and reduced health risks associated with formaldehyde exposure. ZRK MDF EMISSION COMPARISON WITH LOCAL & IMPORTED BOARDS What effects does MDF formaldehyde emissions have on your health?
Formaldehyde emissions from MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) can have various health effects, particularly when exposure is at high levels or over extended periods. The severity and type of health issues depend on the concentration of formaldehyde and the duration of exposure. Common health effects include:

• Irritation: Formaldehyde can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, throat, and skin. People may experience burning sensations in the eyes, coughing, and skin rashes.
• Respiratory Problems: Prolonged exposure can lead to respiratory difficulties, including asthma-like symptoms and bronchitis.
• Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may develop an allergic reaction to formaldehyde, leading to dermatitis (skin irritation) or respiratory symptoms.
• Cancer Risk: Formaldehyde is classified as a human carcinogen (cancer-causing substance) by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC). Chronic exposure, especially at high levels, has been linked to an increased risk of certain types of cancer, particularly nasopharyngeal cancer and leukemia.
• Sensitization: Repeated exposure to formaldehyde can lead to sensitization, making individuals more susceptible to health effects even at lower exposure levels.

It’s important to note that the amount of formaldehyde released from MDF can vary based on the product’s quality and the conditions in which it’s used. Manufacturers often use adhesives with lower formaldehyde content to meet health and safety standards like the E1 and E0 emission standards.

UV lacquered MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) boards are a type of engineered wood product that has been treated with a UV (ultraviolet) cured lacquer finish (UV LUX). This finish involves applying a special type of lacquer onto the surface of the MDF board and then curing it using ultraviolet light, which results in a hard, durable, and glossy coating.

The combination of enhanced aesthetics, durability, specialized production processes and advanced technology contribute to the higher cost of UV lacquered boards compared to other types of boards.

A wood-based panel is a broad term encompassing a range of engineered panel products that incorporate a substantial quantity of wood, such as strips, chips, strands, or fibers. ZRK Group specializes in the manufacturing of the following wood-based materials:

• Particleboards (PB)
• Laminated Particleboards
• High Density Fiberboard (HDF)
• High density fiberboards (HDF) Door Skins
• Primer Door Skins
• Melamine Door Skins
• Medium density fiberboards (MDF)
• Laminated Medium density fiberboard (MDF)
• UV LUX
• High Gloss Elit
• Syncron Line
• Brushed Wood
• Fabric
• Leather
• Floral
• Groove
• Laminated Veneer
• Lamination Series

• Medium-density fiberboard (MDF): MDF is manufactured from fine wood fibers, resulting in a smooth surface and making it easier to mill compared to PB. It is particularly suitable for projects that involve intricate and complex shapes, and it can be finished with lamination.
• Particleboard: On the other hand, particleboard is a more cost-effective option than MDF, produced by hot-pressing smaller wood particles with resin adhesives. Particleboard is relatively easy to work with in terms of cutting and milling, and it can be used with standard woodworking machinery. It is primarily utilized as a core material for doors, furniture, and cabinets, often covered on one or both sides with veneer or another surface finish.

MDF's strength and stability makes it ideal for use in interior infrastructure applications like building and construction; interiors, residential and office furniture, wall paneling, modular kitchens, doors and wood floors. ZRK MDF is easier to rout, carve and finish. This makes it perfect for use in contemporary, stylish furniture.

Melamine is a synthetic resin used in the manufacturing of adhesives for MDF and particleboard, as well as for laminated countertops and tabletops. The melamine process begins with a core material, which can be either Particleboard or MDF, and is then coated with a decorative paper infused with melamine resin. This process results in melamine boards offering a diverse array of decorative options and establishing themselves as a prominent interior solution.

• Primer Door Skin: A primer door skin is typically made from high-density fiberboard (HDF). It has a smooth surface that has been primed, which means it has a base coat of primer applied to it. This allows for easier painting or polishing.
• Melamine Door Skin: Melamine door skins are also made from high-density fiberboard (HDF), but they have a surface layer of melamine resin impregnated paper. Melamine is a synthetic material known for its durability and resistance to scratches, moisture, and heat.

In our business impregnation means the saturation of different kinds of papers with urea resin, a melamine resin or a combination of both. The resins may contain additional additives to improve the properties of the melamine film during and after the pressing process. After the paper is saturated with resin it gets dried in an oven for better handling. Next is the melamine face coating of particleboards or MDF/HDF board under high pressure and temperature.

MDF has an incredibly smooth surface and can be painted or stained but it is important to always use a primer first.

There are several reasons to choose MDF over wood:

• MDF is easy to use.
• It is very consistent throughout, so cut edges appear smooth and you don’t get voids or splinters.
• Surface of MDF is very smooth which makes it ideal for painting.
• MDF is generally cheaper than wood.
• MDF board is easy to maintain, durable and an environment-friendly product that fits in with sustainable building norms.
