How long will the formaldehyde release cycle in solid wood furniture be?

The peak period of formaldehyde release is 3-5 months, and the volatilization is as long as more than ten years.

There are many factors affecting formaldehyde release.

Theoretically speaking, the formaldehyde release of furniture or various home decoration materials will reach a peak within 3-5 months after opening the package, and it will enter a slow and small amount of release after half a year. However, the formaldehyde release cycle is long, and there are many factors that affect its release, so in the actual life environment, the statement that "the longer the time, the less formaldehyde" is not necessarily true. There have been test cases that show that after one year of house decoration, the indoor formaldehyde content is higher than half a year ago.

There are many factors that affect the amount of formaldehyde released, and the most important is temperature. The higher the temperature, the higher the evaporation rate and volatilization amount, which is common to all chemicals, and formaldehyde is no exception. Studies have shown that for every 10 rise in room temperature, the concentration of formaldehyde in indoor air will increase by 3 times.

When the room temperature exceeds 20, the formaldehyde in furniture and various decoration materials will be in an active state, highly volatile, if the room temperature continues to rise, the release of formaldehyde will also increase exponentially. This is also the reason why people tend to feel pungent smells indoors in summer. However, as the weather gets cooler, people gradually reduce the time of opening windows for ventilation, and poor air circulation will also cause a large amount of formaldehyde to accumulate indoors; After heating in winter, the increase in indoor temperature will accelerate the release of formaldehyde, which is easy to cause indoor formaldehyde content to exceed the standard.

In decoration pollution, formaldehyde is definitely the "number one killer", memory loss, low work efficiency, abnormal mood, loss of appetite, if the body has these symptoms to be vigilant, maybe not you are sick, but formaldehyde poisoning! Formaldehyde is ubiquitous in the renovation.

When it comes to formaldehyde pollution, most consumers will say that the formaldehyde volatilization period of 3-15 years is too long, is it true that all formaldehyde pollution release sources are 3-15 years? In fact, there are long-term and short-term sources of formaldehyde pollution release.

The long-term release sources of formaldehyde include various wood-based panels, wood-based panel furniture, composite flooring, etc., which contain formaldehyde volatilization period of 3-15 years, which must be solved through effective treatment.

The short-term sources of formaldehyde include formaldehyde in solid wood furniture, curtains, wallpaper, mattresses and paint surfaces, etc., and the volatilization period of formaldehyde contained in it is basically about 1 year. The formaldehyde content in these items is generally not high, the volatilization period is not long, and it is relatively easy to handle.

Therefore, the formaldehyde release cycle in solid wood furniture is also 1-2 years.

It depends on whether the furniture you buy is formaldehyde-free, and it generally takes a few months to release it more thoroughly.
