Why Using WPC is safe for your loved ones !!

ALSTONE WPC ( FORMALDEHYDE FREE  BOARDS) – WE CARE FOR YOU

The furniture industry is flooded with all kinds of materials like plywood, MDF board, Particle boards and PVC Foam Boards  under different brand names.

All the small and big names claim to have mostly the same features like water proof, termite proof and fire retardant. Although each brand claims to have the best quality yet each one is  different. The difference is not what has been added to get the finished product , it’s what’s missing in its formulation.

Increasing awareness and scrutiny by the  consumers and the environmental groups has led to the development for greener and healthier products

We were , we are and we may in future also live under constant threat to our health for years and  will risk the lives of our loved ones if we continue to use such materials in our homes and offices which do not meet the health , safety and environmental  standards.

We may not be aware that formaldehyde is a probable human carcinogen ( Cancer causing agent) classified by the EPA that emit in our homes and are in continuous contact with these in our spick and span offices  and homes.

The source is none other than our sofas, beds , kitchen countertops and other furniture made with plywood and particle board as these are manufactured with formaldehyde based glues.

·         Conventional plywood is made of thin veneers of wood that are bonded together with formaldehyde resins.

·         The majority of hardwood plywood, used indoors for cabinetry and paneling, is composed of a core layer faced with higher quality woods using urea-formaldehyde (UF) glue.

·         Particleboard, used primarily indoors for furniture and cabinets, is made from wood chips and other plant fibers bonded with formaldehyde-based resins

Moreover, it can off-gas from the boards into the air, silently polluting your home’s air for years (the off-gassing rate is especially intense in new materials, and in hot, humid weather like India). Long-term inhalation of formaldehyde vapors can cause fatigue, respiratory irritation, impaired lung function and allergic skin reactions.

Fortunately, a new generation of green product - ALSTONE WPC is here as it does not contain potentially harmful chemicals like- formaldehyde. Alstone wpc sheets are non toxic by nature and does not emit toxic emissions like formaldehyde unlike its counterparts like  plywood, mdf  & HDF boards , particle boards thus giving you the potential to replace plywood, particleboard in cabinets and furniture throughout your house
