Several common misconceptions about panels

1. waterproof = moisture

In the concept of many people , moisture and waterproof can be equated. In fact, this concept is also inaccurate. The role of moisture resistance is to mix in the sheet substrate moisture inhibitor, moisture inhibitor is colorless. Some manufacturers, in order to make it easier to distinguish between moisture-resistant panels and ordinary panels, add color to the panels as an identification mark. The moisture-proofing agent does not have much effect on the waterproof performance of the board itself, and the moisture-proofing only has an effect on the moisture in the air. In foreign countries rarely use moisture-proofing agent because they pay more attention to the surface treatment and sealing tightness. Therefore, do not blindly superstitious moisture-proof board performance, adding too much will instead affect the strength of man-made board.

2. Fireproof board = fireproof

From the literal meaning of the board seems to be able to fire, many consumers also have this misunderstanding. In fact, it will also occur burning phenomenon, but its fire resistance compared to other materials to be much higher, fire-resistant materials do not exist in the true sense of the fire, the correct name should be “fire-resistant board”. In fact, this can provide more time and opportunity for people to escape when an accident occurs. In addition to its fire resistance feature, fireproof board can also be used as a decorative material, mainly because it has very bright colors and rich textures. Moreover, light weight and high strength, sound absorption and sound insulation, green environmental protection, easy processing and economic practicality are all inherent characteristics of fireproof board. The open flame resistance time of “fireproof board” can be about 35-40 seconds, within which the open flame can only produce black soot that can be wiped off, without chemical reaction. Of course, the longer the fire resistance time of “fireproof board” is the better.

3. Good appearance = good board

Quality depends on the material. The reason why some manufacturers produce cheap boards, in addition to the means of processing, the main thing is the cost. The surface of poor-quality panels have a translucent bottom, poor color, touch uneven, the surface of the melamine veneer brittle, subject to external forces, easy to fall off, from the cross-sectional view, the grass-roots wood between the larger gaps, and even mud, nails and stones and other garbage. Many small workshops in order to reduce costs, with a large number of poor quality urea-formaldehyde glue, there is no cleaning link, the performance of the panels made with high-quality physical and chemical properties can not be compared, look similar in appearance, but the internal quality is a world of difference, so in the choice of panels, in addition to look at the exterior to pay more attention to the internal quality. For the appearance of the product, the inner, Baiqiang plate has always had very high standards requirements, not only has a very distinctive and stylish appearance, the quality of each sheet is to achieve green, low-carbon, environmental protection.

4. Meet the national standards

The national standard is also divided into levels, on the detection standard European standard is 0.5mg / L that E0 level, and in China’s relevant formaldehyde emission standards and 5mg / L E2 level quasi. May 1, 2018 the country will officially cancel the E2 level of formaldehyde emission standards for man-made panels, the relevant provisions of formaldehyde emission limit value of 0.124mg / m³, the limited logo E1. The industry’s leading level of enterprises, each E0-class panels can reach the European level environmental standards. So we are in the purchase of panels, formaldehyde emissions is definitely an indicator that can not be ignored.
