Why is it necessary to use odorless E0 grade environmentally friendly particleboard in commercial pl
source：m.niaotech.com Time：2025-09-02
In the decoration and furniture customization of commercial places (such as shopping malls, office buildings, hotel lobbies, chain restaurants, etc.), choosing odorless E0 grade environmentally friendly particleboard is based on three core requirements: personnel density, spatial functionality, and compliance. Its value far exceeds ordinary boards, and can be analyzed from the following dimensions:
1、 Core requirement: Solve the environmental and safety pain points of "personnel density+enclosed space" in commercial places
The core feature of commercial places is the high-frequency and high flow of people gathering (such as the daily average passenger flow of thousands to tens of thousands in shopping malls), and most spaces (such as office buildings, hotel rooms, and dining rooms) have the characteristics of "long door and window closing time, low ventilation efficiency". This makes the "environmental friendliness" of the board directly related to public health and safety, and odorless E0 grade particleboard perfectly matches this demand:
1. Lower formaldehyde emissions to avoid health risks
Class E0 is a higher environmental protection level in the Quantity of Formaldehyde Released from Wood based Panels (GB 18580-2017), requiring formaldehyde emission ≤ 0.050mg/m 3 (much lower than that of Class E1 ≤ 0.124mg/m 3); 'Odorless' further means that the board is free of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or other harmful odors.
If low environmental grade boards are used in commercial places, formaldehyde and VOCs will accumulate in enclosed spaces. Long term exposure may cause customers/employees to experience dizziness, respiratory discomfort, and other problems, especially for sensitive groups such as the elderly, children, and pregnant women. Odorless E0 grade boards can reduce such risks and avoid customer complaints or health disputes caused by "decoration pollution".
2. Eliminate odor interference and ensure consumer/office experience
The "experience" of commercial places directly affects customer retention: for example, if a newly opened clothing store has a pungent smell of plywood, it will make customers unwilling to stay; If there is an odor in the office building, it will reduce the work efficiency of employees; If there is an odor in hotel rooms, it may trigger negative reviews.
Odorless E0 grade particleboard eliminates odor sources from the source, ensuring that the space is odorless, maintaining a "comfortable" experience in commercial places, and avoiding customer loss due to odor issues.
2、 Compliance requirements: Meet environmental standards and regulatory requirements for commercial decoration
The decoration of commercial places must strictly comply with local regulations on environmental protection, fire safety, public health, etc. Odorless E0 grade particleboard is the "basic threshold" to meet compliance:
Mandatory standard compliance: According to the "Indoor Environmental Pollution Control Standards for Civil Building Engineering" (GB 50325-2020), after the completion of commercial buildings (such as offices, hotels, and shopping malls), the indoor formaldehyde concentration must be ≤ 0.07mg/m 3 - if E1 grade or lower boards are used, even if a single board meets the standard, multiple boards stacked together may still exceed the limit; The low release capacity of E0 grade board can easily meet the formaldehyde concentration requirements of the overall space, avoiding failure to pass acceptance and forced rework due to environmental non-compliance.
Industry regulation and sampling response: In recent years, market regulatory authorities have significantly increased the frequency of indoor environmental quality sampling in commercial venues (especially in restaurants, hotels, children's play areas, etc.). If formaldehyde exceeds the standard during sampling, there may be penalties such as fines and suspension of business for rectification. The environmental attributes of odorless E0 grade board can serve as a "compliance certificate" to reduce regulatory risks for enterprises.
3、 Functional adaptation: Balancing the demand for "cost-effectiveness+durability" in commercial settings
The decoration of commercial places not only needs to be environmentally friendly, but also needs to balance "cost control" and "long-term durability" - odorless E0 grade particleboard has significant advantages in these two aspects:
1. Better cost-effectiveness than other environmentally friendly boards
Under the same environmental protection level, the price of E0 grade particleboard is much lower than that of solid wood panels (about 1/3-1/2 of solid wood), as well as E0 grade multi-layer solid wood panels and particle boards; At the same time, the base material of particleboard is pressed from wood chips, which has a high utilization rate of raw materials and strong cost stability. It is suitable for the demand of "large-scale use" in commercial places (such as whole shelves, customized cabinets, partition walls), helping enterprises control decoration budgets.
2. "High frequency use" of physical performance adapted to commercial scenarios
Furniture/decoration components in commercial places need to withstand "high-frequency touch, friction, and load-bearing": for example, shopping mall shelves need to frequently display goods (load-bearing requirements), hotel wardrobe doors need to be opened and closed every day (wear-resistant and anti deformation requirements), and kitchen cabinets in restaurants need to withstand certain humidity (moisture-proof requirements).
Excellent odorless E0 grade particleboard (especially products that have undergone moisture-proof treatment) has good compressive strength, wear resistance, and stability, and is not easily deformed by temperature/humidity changes. Its service life can reach 5-8 years, reducing maintenance and replacement costs caused by "board damage" in commercial places.
