Formaldehyde-free
When we say PureBond technology is "formaldehyde-free", we're describing the way our hardwood plywood panels are comprised of no added urea formaldehyde components and assembled with zero formaldehyde adhesives.
Replacing traditional urea formaldehyde (UF) hardwood plywood construction with non-toxic, soy-based PureBond enables Columbia to eliminate any added formaldehyde from standard veneer-core and non-UF composite hardwood plywood core panels. That's great news for our employees, our customers and the air we all breathe.
What really makes PureBond¨ special is that it's cost-competitive with the standard UF construction of most decorative veneer-core hardwood plywood that's made today. That means PureBond¨ is substantially less expensive than other no-added-formaldehyde alternatives currently available.
Columbia's formaldehyde-free decorative panels are also compliant with the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED¨) standards, earning one point for LEED's EQ Credit 4.4 for Low-Emitting Materials: Composite Wood, and satisfy the emissions standards of the California Air Resources Board (CARB) Phase 2 regulations.
