3·15 is approaching, counting the five “formaldehyde pits” in the furniture market

3.15 is coming, do you know the pits of formaldehyde in the furniture market? These pits are not only the pain points of consumers, but also bring some vigilance to furniture manufacturers. In 2019, the home industry needs more rational thinking, as well as on the product side and on the sales side.

Recently, a quality inspection news of the net red formaldehyde detector made the formaldehyde problem once again noticed by the public.

Formaldehyde is carcinogenic and causes leukemia, especially harmful to the physical health of pregnant people, children, the elderly and other physically weak people. This has become a popular cognition.

With the improvement of environmental awareness, many consumers talk about the "aldehyde" discoloration, and they are yearning for the "formaldehyde-free" home environment. Many merchants have set a lot of seemingly beautiful "pits" for consumers' awareness of this, misleading people's perception of formaldehyde.

"Zero Formaldehyde"

The word “zero formaldehyde” has become the marketing term of many home furnishing businesses. The slogan “Plates, glue is very environmentally friendly, 0 formaldehyde” has become a publicity standard for many enterprises online and offline, corresponding to the consumer’s “zero”. The safety appeal of formaldehyde.

In fact, the current highest standard for international plates is E0 grade, and the environmental standard for domestic plates is E1 grade, neither of which is completely zero formaldehyde.

For panel furniture, no matter what kind of sheet material contains more or less formaldehyde, this is because the board will inevitably use glue in the production process, and "no aldehyde is not glued". Many of the “zero formaldehyde” are the commercial gimmicks of the manufacturers. Consumers do not need to obey the “zero formaldehyde”. As long as they are E1 grade plates that meet the national standards, it is environmentally friendly. The solid wood furniture is environmentally friendly, and the plate furniture is sure that the formaldehyde exceeds the standard.

From a legal point of view, the manufacturers promoting "zero formaldehyde" in the increasingly regulated environment of the domestic market may have to provoke a lawsuit to the upper body, and must not think twice.

There is a trick in the qualified test report.

Nowadays, many merchants provide “test reports” for formal institutions in the country online and offline. Does this mean that the furniture that consumers buy on behalf of consumers must be environmentally friendly? The answer is "not necessarily". At present, the most common problem in furniture consumption complaints is the environmental protection of furniture.

With qualified test reports, consumers still suspect that the home has problems. This is because the samples sent by the merchant are selected from the same batch, and the testing organization does not test every product produced by the merchant. At the same time, many merchants are more common in order to save money, or to evade detection, and borrow other people's test reports.

Excessive formaldehyde is a fault caused by furniture?

Many consumers find that when the formaldehyde in the home environment exceeds the standard, they will always look for furniture manufacturers to smear. This is more arbitrary and it is not easy to find out the true source of formaldehyde.

In life, consumers measure formaldehyde at home, and often measure the formaldehyde content of “indoor air”. Many decoration materials such as wallpapers, paints, floors, curtains, and even clothing, etc., also contain formaldehyde, and the indoor air formaldehyde and furniture formaldehyde test methods and standards are completely different, which leads to the words of the merchants and consumers. .

In fact, in the furniture manufacturing process, as long as the glue, paint, rubber strip, etc. are used, the product will contain formaldehyde. The difference lies only in the amount of the volume. The real formaldehyde-free furniture must be made of glue and no paint from the raw materials and processing technology. This may only be possible with all-aluminum furniture.

Net red formaldehyde tester, "giant pit" covered by scientific coat

Consumers are suspicious of the formaldehyde content of furniture products. After negotiating with the merchants, the merchants generally require consumers to send the products back, arrange for inspection by the merchants, or send them to professional testing institutions for testing. The human and material resources faced by the consumers in the middle. The time cost is very high, so it has spawned the best-selling net red formaldehyde tester.

This kind of price is from tens of yuan to several hundred yuan, portable formaldehyde tester, good sales on the Internet, has also won a lot of users "praise", but the results are completely unscientific.

Recently, the Shanghai market supervision department recently announced the monitoring results of the net red product "formaldehyde detector": 41 batches of samples, nearly 20 brands, none of the batch of formaldehyde detectors showed value error in line with technical requirements, none The repeatability of the batch formaldehyde detector under the set test environment meets the requirements.

Professional furniture inspection engineers reminded that the portable formaldehyde tester on the market is not reliable. They use the chemical concentration sensing device to measure the data. The data is all flickering!

To test formaldehyde, you have to find a qualified formal institution to test with hundreds of thousands or even millions of professional equipment. At present, the fees for these formal institutions are generally 300 yuan - 500 yuan / test point, a room test 5-6 points, the total cost of 3,000 yuan.

The myth of removing formaldehyde from green plants

Consumers believe that using green radish, charcoal bags, etc. can go to formaldehyde, if there is no obvious pungent smell, it means no formaldehyde, these are the wish of the public wishful thinking.

The release period of formaldehyde is as long as 15 years, and the effect of aldehydes such as green radish and charcoal is very small.

If consumers want to obtain indoor air that meets the standard (not zero formaldehyde), it is necessary to pay attention to whether each decoration material is environmentally friendly, and the newly renovated house must be vacant for half a year to stay.

In the perception of formaldehyde, we have seen many consumers, including storefront shopping guides, on the one hand, talking about the "aldehyde" discoloration, and then pursuing the "zero formaldehyde" that is impossible to exist; on the other hand, taking it for granted, it is self-consoling. Some simple, lazy methods, such as green plants and portable formaldehyde testers, provide secure indoor air conditions and test data. These two extreme one-sided cognitions hinder the process of getting a truly healthy home environment.
