Our entire Traditional bamboo product line is produced with formaldehyde-free adhesives (NAF), meeting CARB (California Air Resources Board) emission standards. Most companies’ 0 UF (aka NAUF) products use a Phenol Formaldehyde, which off-gasses more during production than Urea Formaldehyde. Because it off-gasses quickly, it passes chamber tests that detect levels of formaldehyde, which generally happen a few weeks to months after production. We believe that our factory workers’ health, and the health of the environment as a whole, is equally as important as indoor air quality for the end user. Our Strand Woven bamboo products use a Phenol Formaldehyde that meets E0 standards, compared with most strand products that only reach E1 standards. We are constantly pushing for the use of an adhesive that contains no formaldehyde. We use all low-VOC finishes on our products finished in the U.S., and our flooring is pre-finished with Swedish Bona formula, a low-VOC finish that contains no aluminum oxide.
