In the world of environmentally friendly boards, ENF-grade and E0-grade are both highly concerned standards. There are some significant differences between them.
1. Different formaldehyde emission standards
ENF-grade is the highest standard in the environmental protection level of boards in my country at present, and its formaldehyde emission requirement is ≤0.025mg/m3. The formaldehyde emission of E0-grade boards is ≤0.050mg/m3. It can be clearly seen that ENF-grade boards have lower formaldehyde emission and less pollution to the indoor environment.
2. Differences in environmental performance
ENF-grade boards
ENF-grade boards usually use more stringent environmental protection processes and raw materials during the production process. For example, adhesives without added formaldehyde and environmentally friendly wood raw materials are used to ensure that the formaldehyde emission is controlled at an extremely low level. This makes ENF-grade boards have excellent environmental performance and can provide people with a healthier and safer indoor environment.
E0-grade boards
The environmental performance of E0-grade boards is also relatively good, but its formaldehyde emission is slightly higher than that of ENF-grade boards. During the production process, some raw materials such as adhesives containing a small amount of formaldehyde may be used, but overall they still meet higher environmental standards.
3. Different market recognition
ENF-grade boards
Due to their extremely high environmental standards, ENF-grade boards are becoming more and more recognized in the market. Especially for those consumers who have very strict environmental protection requirements, such as pregnant women, children, the elderly and other sensitive groups, ENF-grade boards have become their first choice.
E0-grade boards
E0-grade boards also have a certain degree of recognition in the market, especially among some consumers who have high environmental protection requirements but relatively limited budgets. However, as people‘s awareness of environmental protection continues to increase, the market share of ENF-grade boards is expected to gradually expand.
4. Price Difference
ENF Grade Board
Generally speaking, the price of ENF grade board is slightly higher than that of E0 grade board. This is because the cost of ENF grade board in production process, raw material selection, etc. is relatively high.
E0 grade board
The price of E0 grade board is relatively affordable and has certain price advantages. For some consumers with limited budget, E0 grade board may be a more cost-effective choice.
Summary: There are obvious differences between ENF grade and E0 grade environmentally friendly boards in formaldehyde emission standards, environmental performance, market recognition and price. Consumers should make comprehensive considerations based on their actual needs and budget when choosing to ensure that they choose the most suitable environmentally friendly board.
Points to note when selecting ENF-grade panels
During the decoration process, choosing ENF-grade panels is to ensure the health and safety of the indoor environment. However, there are also some key points to note when selecting ENF-grade panels.
1. Check the certification mark
1. Look for formal certification
ENF-grade panels usually have corresponding certification marks, such as China Environmental Labeling Product Certification. When selecting, be sure to carefully check whether there is a clear certification mark on the panel to ensure that its environmental protection level meets the ENF standard.
2. Beware of counterfeit marks
There may be some counterfeit certification marks on the market, and consumers should be vigilant. You can verify whether the certification information of the panel is true and valid by checking the official website of the certification agency or calling the customer service phone number of the certification agency.
2. Understand the panel brand
1. Choose a well-known brand
The panels of well-known brands are usually more guaranteed in terms of quality and environmental protection. These brands often have strict quality control systems and perfect after-sales services, and can provide consumers with reliable products.
2. Check the brand reputation
You can learn about the reputation of different brands through the Internet, friends‘ recommendations, etc. Choosing a brand with a good reputation can reduce the risk of buying inferior boards.
3. Check the appearance of the board
1. Observe the flatness
The surface of high-quality ENF-grade boards should be flat and smooth, without obvious defects such as unevenness, blistering, and cracks. You can touch the surface of the board with your hands to feel its flatness.
2. Check the color uniformity
The color of the board should be uniform and consistent, without obvious color difference. If the color of the board is uneven, there may be problems in the production process, which will affect the decoration effect.
3. Check the edge sealing quality
Good edge sealing can effectively prevent the release of formaldehyde inside the board, and at the same time improve the moisture-proof performance of the board. Check whether the edge sealing is tight and flat, and there is no degumming, cracking, etc.
4. Understand the performance of the board
1. Physical properties
In addition to excellent environmental performance, ENF-grade boards should also have good physical properties, such as strength, hardness, wear resistance, etc. You can ask the salesperson about the physical performance indicators of the board, or check the product manual.
2. Moisture-proof performance
For some use scenarios in humid environments, such as kitchens and bathrooms, the moisture-proof performance of the board is particularly important. To understand the moisture-proof performance of the board, you can check the moisture-proof grade mark of the product or consult professionals.
V. Price and cost-effectiveness
1. Don‘t just look at the price
Although price is an important consideration, you can‘t choose the board based solely on price. Too low a price may mean that the quality and environmental performance of the board cannot be guaranteed.
2. Consider cost-effectiveness
When selecting ENF-grade boards, you should consider factors such as price, quality, and environmental performance, and choose products with high cost-effectiveness. You can find the most suitable product for yourself by comparing boards of different brands and specifications.
VI. Sign a formal contract
1. Clarify product information
When purchasing ENF-grade boards, be sure to sign a formal contract with the merchant to clarify the brand, specifications, environmental protection grade, price, after-sales service and other information of the board.
2. Reserve the basis for rights protection
Signing a contract can provide consumers with legal protection and can serve as a basis for rights protection when quality problems or disputes arise.
Summary: When choosing ENF-grade boards, you need to pay attention to checking the certification mark, understanding the brand reputation, checking the appearance of the board, understanding the performance of the board, considering the price and cost-effectiveness, and signing a formal contract. Only by considering these factors comprehensively can you choose ENF-grade boards with reliable quality, environmental protection and safety, and provide high-quality material guarantees for decoration projects.
