How to Remove Formaldehyde?

February 21,2021

Formaldehyde is harmful to human body. But how to remove it? Here are some ways to remove formaldehyde.

1. Ventilation

Ventilation is a well-known method of removing formaldehyde. As long as we often ventilate the new house and "air the smell", we can effectively release formaldehyde to the outside and reduce the indoor formaldehyde content. It's just that the effect of ventilation is good and sometimes bad. Generally, the effect of removing formaldehyde is good when the wind is strong. Moreover, the volatilization period of formaldehyde is 3-15 years. If we suspend ventilation during the removal of formaldehyde due to cold sleep, rain, etc., the indoor formaldehyde concentration will accumulate again.

2. Activated carbon

Activated carbon is an age-old environmentally friendly material, and its surface pores can adsorb formaldehyde gas. But its function is relatively single, it can only adsorb formaldehyde but not clean it. So just like blowing a balloon, once it inhales too much formaldehyde gas that exceeds its own capacity, it will leak and release all the formaldehyde back into the air, causing secondary pollution. Therefore, when we use it, we have to replace it every month.

3. High temperature releases formaldehyde

People who want to "escape" formaldehyde hazards earlier can use this method, mainly to use the characteristics of formaldehyde to accelerate the release rate when exposed to high temperatures, and put a few heaters and other electrical appliances in the home. They are used to increase the indoor temperature and promote the rapid release of formaldehyde gas. But this method is easy to ignite indoor furniture, so it is not recommended to use it frequently.

Furniture formaldehyde gas content testing equipment is suitable for the determination of formaldehyde emission from various wood-based panels, composite wood floors, carpets, carpet underlays, carpet adhesives and other indoor decoration materials, as well as other volatile and harmful gases. The test equipment truly simulates the indoor climate environment, and the test results are closer to the real environment, so it is true and reliable. We can use the furniture disassembly formaldehyde gas content test equipment to test the formaldehyde content.
