Phase 2, set for January 1, 2010, will force formaldehyde emissions in adhesives even lower, to 0.05 ppm, a higher standard than that of the European E0

Then can you let me know test methods for this formaldehyde emissions in adhesives?

Thanks.

If not, what other chemicals do they contain that make you include California Proposition 65 message in product description?
thanks.

Hi Stan,

Thank you for getting in touch! No, porcelain tile does not contain formaldehyde. Please let us know if you have any other questions!

Hi Tephaine,

Thanks for the question. Unfortunately we cannot provide emissions specs for specific products. For information on VOC emissions specs and CARB ratings please visit this third party website (http://www.arb.ca.gov/html/fact_sheets/composite_wood_flooring_faq.pdf).

BuildDirect has a number of safeguards in place to ensure the safety and quality of its flooring products. For example, we conduct a comprehensive onboarding process for suppliers, regardless of country of origin (including China). All laminate flooring available on the BuildDirect site is held to CARB 2 standards, which are the strictest emissions standards in the world, regardless of where the product is sold across the country. To find out the exact emissions specs for this particular product, we recommend contacting Lamton directly.

If you have further questions or if you’d like to speak with a representative please email Gary Sandur at Garysandur@builddirect.com.

Can you provide the VOC emissions specs, particularly the formaldehyde emissons/level specs, for this particular product? I have two small children at home and I would feel much better buying with this information. Thank you.

Hi Nicole,

Thank you for getting in touch! Engineered floors have two different core types, plywood and high density fiberboard. The emission issues that other companies have been having only apply to the high density fiberboard because of the glue and resin used to bind the wood particles in the fiberboard together. The floor you are interested in is made with a plywood core so you do not have these issues.

For information on CARB ratings please visit this third party website (http://www.arb.ca.gov/html/fact_sheets/composite_wood_flooring_faq.pdf).
