TVOC is the English abbreviation of “total volatile organic compounds”, which means total volatile organic compounds.
Researchers of indoor air quality usually call the indoor organic gaseous substances they sample and analyze as VOC, which is the abbreviation of the first letter of the three words volatile organic compound; Various VOCs measured are collectively referred to as total volatile organic compounds (TVOC).
TVOC is one of the three kinds of indoor air quality pollution. TVOC refers to the organic matter whose saturated vapor pressure exceeds 133.32pa at room temperature. Its boiling point is 50 ℃ to 250 ℃. It exists in the air in the form of evaporation at room temperature. Its toxicity, irritation, carcinogenicity and special odor will affect the skin and mucous membrane and cause acute damage to the human body. The World Health Organization (who), the National Academy of Sciences / National Research Council (NAS / NRC) and other institutions have always emphasized that TVOC is an important air pollutant. The United States Environment Agency (EPA) defines VOC as any carbonaceous compound involved in photochemical reactions in the atmosphere except carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, carbonic acid, metal carbides, carbonates and ammonium carbonate.
TVOC has pungent smell, and some compounds are genotoxic. TVOC can cause the imbalance of immune level, affect the function of central nervous system, and produce conscious symptoms such as dizziness, headache, drowsiness, weakness and chest tightness; It may also affect the digestive system, such as loss of appetite and nausea. In serious cases, it may damage the liver and hematopoietic system, and cause allergic reactions.
We are using very good materials for our vinyl sheet flooring, and make sure our product is save before production, during, after production. Our TVOC after 28 days is < 10ug/m3, this is far below the industry standard.
Formaldehyde is an organic chemical substance with the chemical formula of HCHO or CH₂O, molecular weight of 30.03, also known as formic aldehyde. It is a colorless and irritant gas, which can stimulate human eyes and nose.
On October 27, 2017, formaldehyde was included in the list of class I carcinogens in the list of carcinogens published by the international agency for research on cancer of the World Health Organization. [3] On July 23, 2019, formaldehyde was listed in the list of toxic and harmful water pollutants.
It can be seen that formaldehyde is a gas harmful to people’s health.
Inside the floor, there is formaldehyde in the paint, the content is not high The main hazards in paint are benzene and heavy metals Formaldehyde is mainly in the adhesive used for pressing between floor layers
Therefore, in the composite floor, formaldehyde is inevitable. In the process of purchase, it becomes very important to find qualified suppliers.
In vinyl sheet flooring, the floors are rolled together, and glue and other things will not be used as auxiliary, which ensures that there will be no formaldehyde in the floor production process, and naturally there will be no formaldehyde in the final floor products.
The main raw material for producing PVC flooring is polyvinyl chloride, which is an environment-friendly and non-toxic renewable resource. It has been widely used in people’s daily life, such as non food packaging bags, garbage bags, building decorative panels, etc PVC material is non-toxic, colorless and tasteless, and it will slowly decompose hydrogen chloride gas at high temperature. After testing and testing by environmental protection agencies around the world, our sheet vinyl flooring production process will not produce toxic and harmful substances, which is absolutely harmless to human body
In the general use of the flooring, if there is excessive harmful substances, in order to prevent injury, it needs regular ventilation, or even heating and baking to speed up the release; And put activated carbon, but the effect of activated carbon is not obvious. Finally, some Chlorophytum and other green plants are properly cultivated indoors to achieve the effect of purifying indoor air.
But the best option is starting from the source and buying vinyl sheet flooring, which is completely harmless to the body.
