CompakBoard panels are manufactured using MDI polyurethane as a binding agent which produces a "Zero Formaldehyde" or "Formaldehyde Free" material. This means that COMPAKBOARD panels have emissions far below the strict E1 European low formaldehyde (LF) standard and the USA (HUD 24) standard. COMPAKBOARDS are therefore suitable for specification in environmentally sensitive areas such as schools, nurseries, hospitals, public buildings, laboratories, museums and nursing homes, or any domestic application where the end user has concern for their living environment.
