    Yes, furniture will have a bit of formaldehyde to some extent.

    What is formaldehyde:

    Formaldehyde, chemical formula HCHO or CH O, formula amount, also known as antaldehyde. Colorless gas, odorless, irritating to human eyes, nose, etc. Relative density of gases air = 1), density of liquids.

    Melting point -92, boiling point. Soluble in water and ethanol. The concentration of the aqueous solution can reach up to 55%, usually 40%, called formaldehyde water, commonly known as formalin, is a colorless liquid with a pungent odor.

    There is a strong reducing effect, especially in alkaline solutions. It can be burned, and the vapor and air form an explosive mixture, with an explosion limit of 7%-73% (volume). The ignition temperature is about 300 °C.

    What are the hazards of formaldehyde:

    The main harm of formaldehyde is the irritation of the skin and mucous membranes, and when formaldehyde reaches a certain concentration indoors, people will feel uncomfortable. Formaldehyde concentrations greater than those can cause eye redness, itchy eyes, throat discomfort or pain, hoarseness, sneezing, chest tightness, wheezing, dermatitis, etc. Newly renovated rooms have high levels of formaldehyde, which is a major cause of many diseases.

    Why does sofas also have formaldehyde:

    Some sofas have padding inside, and there is formaldehyde in these fillings, and some sofas have brush paint, and the paint also has formaldehyde. Formaldehyde mainly comes from urea-formaldehyde resin glue in wood-based panels, and the plates inside the sofa mostly exist under the sofa cushion, the back of the sofa and the armrests, etc., these plates are long-term release of formaldehyde, and the general release cycle is 3-15 years.

    There is a treatment method for formaldehyde:

    It is recommended to open more windows for ventilation, through the circulation of indoor air, the content of harmful substances in the indoor air can be reduced, 32313133353236313431303231363533e58685e5aeb931333363396335 so as to reduce the harm of such substances to the human body.

Buy activated charcoal and keep it in the house.

    The smell of the new sofa is not all formaldehyde, but also TVOC total volatile organic compounds. A sofa usually consists of three parts: the frame, the padding, the fabric or the leather cover.

    One: formaldehyde of the sofa frame.

    The sofa will use man-made panels to make the frame of the sofa. Whereas, most sofa frames are made of wood-based panels. We know that wood-based panels, especially low-quality wood-based panels, are the main source of formaldehyde.

    However, wood-based panels require an adhesive made from phenolic resin, which contains formaldehyde, to be pressed into shape.

    Two: formaldehyde of sofa filling.

    In the production process of sofas, the internal padding is easily contaminated by volatile substances such as formaldehyde. The padding of sofas is generally available in three types of down, rayon and sponge. Generally speaking, the padding of the sofa is a whole sponge, but there are also many cases where the sponges stick together (no formaldehyde, no glue), and some bad manufacturers use broken sponges to increase profits.

    For example, black cotton and broken sponge are glued together. So, when buying a sofa, ask about the padding inside the sofa.

    It's a good idea to check or smell for odors.

    Three: formaldehyde from the sofa fabric or cortex.

    There are also hidden dangers of formaldehyde in sofa production outsourcing. The manufacturer adds formaldehyde to the additives to make the fabric wrinkle-proof, shrink-proof and flame-retardant. After adding formaldehyde, the printing and dyeing is more durable and feels more comfortable.

    In addition, the fabric cotton textile texture is soft and easy to wrinkle and deform. After using additives containing formaldehyde, pure cotton fabrics will be more brittle. Printing and counter-dyeing cannot be achieved with natural substances.

    So the manufacturer will use some chemicals to complete it to meet people's demand for beautiful and fashionable cloth sofas. Leather processing needs to be tanned, dyed, sprayed and fixative, etc., and there will inevitably be formaldehyde and other dirt stains.

    In addition to the formaldehyde of the sofa, ordinary ventilation does not work because the pollutants released by the sofa have penetrated into the padding of the sofa. The surface of the cloth sofa is a layer of cloth, so the formaldehyde material is emitted from the inside out, then the formaldehyde may be left on the cloth at this time, formaldehyde is soluble in water, so it is best to wash the sofa frequently, so that formaldehyde can be dissolved in water, and then dried in the sun. This reduces formaldehyde.

    If you want to remove formaldehyde from the sofa! This matter still has to be handed over to professional formaldehyde removal products to manage!

    Sofas are usually composed of three parts: frame, padding, and fabric upholstery. Normally, manufacturers use faux-based panels to create the frame of sofas, but man-made panels require an adhesive made of phenolic resin, which contains formaldehyde.

    In addition, the fabric outsourcing of sofas also has formaldehyde hidden dangers. In order to make the fabric have the characteristics of wrinkle-proof, anti-shrinkage and flame retardant, manufacturers will add formaldehyde to the additives. Fabrics with added formaldehyde make the color of printing and dyeing more durable, and the feel is more comfortable.

    In addition, the texture of cotton textile is soft, but easy to wrinkle and deform, after the use of additives containing formaldehyde, it can make the cotton fabric more structured. Therefore, the surface fabric of the sofa will also contain formaldehyde.

    It is not terrible not to have formaldehyde, as long as you use professional products such as Shenguang aldehyde removal enzyme to treat it, you can reach the standard.

    It depends on the material of the sofa. General design to wood (MDF), leather, etc. may have.

    Therefore, whether there is formaldehyde or not depends on the quality of the wood-based panels used. If the wood-based panel reaches the standard of E1 or E0, there is basically no formaldehyde pollution.
