To promote eco-friendliness, health and better quality interiors, SharonPly brings you Zero-Emission Compliant Plywood designed to reduce harmful gas emissions & improve indoor air quality. SharonPly E-Zero plywood meets the requirements of California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA emission standards – tested and approved by Universal Testing & Research Centre, New Delhi, India.
Would you believe the air indoors could get just as polluted as the outdoors? Indoor air pollution affects everyone, especially children and elders with compromised immune systems
Most of the pressed wood products on the market are made using adhesives containing urea-formaldehyde (UF) resins.
This substance is highly volatile and releases toxic fumes, which over time cause health issues like irritation, lung infection, asthma & even cancer.
That’s why it’s vital to choose E-Zero emission compliant plywood for your indoors to keep the air pollutant-free.
SharonPly is the only Plywood in India to pass the stringent quality requirements to export Plywood to Japan, the master in Plywood Technology.
Zero-emission plywood is manufactured in a certain way to reduce the emission or “off-gassing” of formaldehyde – a component used in adhesives & resins to bind the wood panels. The plywood is E-Zero emission compliant when the formaldehyde concentration is less than or equal to 0.5 mg/litre. This ensures that the plywood does not emit any pollutants into the environment.
Formaldehyde is a gaseous organic compound that is colourless & has a strong, pungent smell. It’s an important chemical feedstock in industrial resins, including the adhesive used to bond plywood products. It can be listed as Phenol-Formaldehyde (PF), Urea Formaldehyde (UF) or Melamine Formaldehyde (MF). Exposure to formaldehyde in certain concentrations is a health hazard. The World Health Organization (WHO), The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) & the National Toxicology Program (NTP) have all classified it as a carcinogen. Prolonged inhalation & exposure to this substance can lead to various ailments, skin diseases, respiratory infections, and in rare cases, even cancer.
That’s why it is vital to buy E-Zero plywood to ensure low-formaldehyde emission.
Our plywood is evaluated under various environmental conditions & standardized methods used for formaldehyde emission analysis. Tested and approved by Universal Testing & Research Centre, New Delhi, India, our E-Zero plywood meets the requirements of California Air Resources Board (CARB) and EPA emission standards – deeming it the safest, eco-friendly & healthier option to choose for interior designing.
That’s why it is vital to buy E-Zero plywood to ensure low-formaldehyde emission.
Harmful emissions from formaldehyde cause poor indoor air quality. E-Zero compliant plywood pertains to Minimal Health Risk, meaning the off-gas emissions are either very low or undetectable. This ensures the air is safe to breathe.
Sharon PLATINUM PLY and Sharon Gold Marine Plywood are now with E-Zero emission compliant.
While zero formalin wood adhesives & hardeners are being considered, these alternatives have the worse reactivity to the raw materials. As a result, using formaldehyde-free resins will affect the mechanical & strength properties of wood-based panels. This poses a substantial challenge for the complete replacement of formaldehyde, as the quality of the product is at stake. Hence E-Zero grade is approved as the safest compliance until a breakthrough in industrial technology.
