Does carpet contain formaldehyde

Many people will choose to decorate their new houses after buying them, to make the houses into their favorite styles. However, it takes some time before people can move into the newly decorated houses, because after decoration the house will be filled with some gases that are harmful to the human body, among which formaldehyde is the most harmful to the human body. So, does carpet contain formaldehyde?

First, does carpet contain formaldehyde? When in use, carpets can release formaldehyde and other organic chemicals such as acrylonitrile and propylene into the air. Another hazard of carpets is their strong adsorption capacity, which can absorb many harmful gases such as formaldehyde, dust and pathogenic microorganisms. Pure wool carpets in particular are ideal breeding and hiding places for dust mites. The backing material used in the manufacturing of carpets is bonded with water-soluble rubbers such as styrene-butadiene latex and natural latex with strong bonding power. These adhesives can volatilize a large amount of organic pollutants when used. The main types are: phenol, cresol, formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, styrene, toluene, ethylbenzene, acetone, diisocyanate, vinyl acetate, epichlorohydrin, etc., among which benzene and benzene-related substances are the main pollutants. For details of the national mandatory standard, see (GB18587-2001) "Limits of Hazardous Substance Release from Carpets, Carpet Pads and Carpet Adhesives for Interior Decoration and Renovation Materials".

Second, more or less formaldehyde will occur. 1. Soak 300 grams of black tea in two basins of hot water, place them indoors, and open the windows for ventilation. Within 48 hours, the indoor formaldehyde content will drop by more than 90%, and the irritating smell will be basically eliminated. 2. Buy the herbal spray Dialin, spray it, and the smell will be gone in a few days. 3. Prepare 400 grams of coal ash, divide it into basins and place it indoors. Within a week, the formaldehyde content can be reduced to a safe range. The above method is also applicable to homes that have no odor after renovation, because some harmful gases are colorless and odorless. 4. Put two or three lemons, oranges, or bananas in a newly renovated room to quickly remove odors. 5. Placing green plants in the newly renovated bathroom can regulate the air, eliminate odors, and bring a fresh and pleasant feeling. I recommend you green radish, which can regulate air quality and remove odors.

Does carpet contain formaldehyde? Carpets are divided into three categories according to their materials: high, medium and low. Nylon and wool are high-end materials, wool blends, acrylic and polyester are mid-range materials, and polypropylene carpets are low-end materials. Carpets rarely contain formaldehyde. As long as they are not installed by gluing them to the ground with colloid, the formaldehyde content generally does not exceed the standard. However, the VOC content of carpets with strong odors must be noted. The quality of carpets sold on the market is mixed. Some chemical fiber carpets or low-priced wool carpets use a lot of chemical adhesives during weaving. These adhesives contain a large amount of substances such as formaldehyde, etc., which are harmful to the human body. Working and living in such an environment full of toxic and harmful substances for a long time will cause great harm to everyone's physical and mental health. Now usually people will ventilate or spray air freshener. Ventilation can only solve the problem temporarily. ###Because the materials of carpet are very complicated, the substances used in each material are different. Pay attention to its safety issues. Only some materials of carpet contain formaldehyde.
