Low VOC Emissions of Reactive Low Odor amine Catalyst ZR-70 in Furniture Manufacturing
Introduction
With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and the increasingly strict environmental regulations, the furniture manufacturing industry has increasingly demanded for low volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions. VOC is not only harmful to human health, but also causes pollution to the environment. Therefore, the development and application of materials and technologies with low VOC emissions have become an important topic in the furniture manufacturing industry. As a new environmentally friendly catalyst, the reactive low-odor amine catalyst ZR-70 has shown significant low VOC emission characteristics in furniture manufacturing, becoming the focus of industry attention.
1. VOC emissions and furniture manufacturing
1.1 Definition and harm of VOC
VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) refers to organic compounds that are easily volatile at room temperature. Common VOCs include formaldehyde, benzene, second-grade. These compounds may be released from adhesives, coatings, sealants and other materials during furniture manufacturing, causing harm to human health and the environment.
- Health Hazards: Long-term exposure to VOC may cause symptoms such as headache, dizziness, nausea, respiratory irritation, and in severe cases, it may even cause cancer.
- Environmental Hazards: VOC is one of the main components of photochemical smoke, which causes pollution to the atmospheric environment and aggravates the greenhouse effect.
1.2 VOC sources in furniture manufacturing
In the furniture manufacturing process, VOC mainly comes from the following aspects:
- Adhesive: Adhesives used for sheet bonding contain a large amount of VOC.
- Coating: The paints and paints on the surface of furniture contain volatile organic solvents.
- Sealant: The sealant used for furniture joint treatment also contains VOC.
