Most people believe that only the wooden floor itself will release formaldehyde, but in the actual installation process, a large amount of floor glue will be used. The function of the floor glue is to form a film at the connection of the floor blocks and effectively lock the free formaldehyde in the floor. . The floor glue itself is environmentally friendly and has become the main indicator for the use of floor adhesives. High-quality floor adhesives are expensive, and many small workshop-style businesses often use cheaper ordinary glues, or even lower-priced inferior ones, and they enter the consumer family in the guise of “brand-specific” and “all-inclusive” prices.
