New Kitchen Cabinet Off-Gassing (CARB Phase 2 / TSCA Title VI Formaldehyde) — household safety profile
Low riskNew kitchen cabinets are the largest single formaldehyde source in a newly renovated kitchen.
What is this product?
New kitchen cabinets are the largest single formaldehyde source in a newly renovated kitchen. Cabinet boxes are typically particleboard or MDF bound with urea-formaldehyde resin. Even TSCA Title VI compliant cabinets emit detectable formaldehyde — multiple cabinets create cumulative exposure. Emission decreases exponentially: 50% reduction in 6-12 months. NAUF (no-added-urea-formaldehyde) options use PVA, MDI, or soy-based resins — zero formaldehyde from binder.
