Our journey to low emission products

Proven track record

Kronospan has a long history of leading the industry:

2009
First OSB to receive certification from Energieinstitut Vorarlberg as an environmentally friendly product due to low VOC emissions and formaldehyde-free production technology
2008
MDF and particleboard E-LE achieve CARB II low emission certification
2007
OSB ECO with extra low volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions
1989
First factory in Central and East Europe to produce E1 particleboard
1988
First tannin bonded MDF to meet E0 standard
1985
100% of production was turned into E1 standard quality

As you would expect, all Kronospan wood-based panel products meet the low formaldehyde E1 emission standard. Now Kronospan has also developed extra low formaldehyde emission MDF and particleboard. These products go even further, exceeding the requirements of the Californian CARB II standard.

Kronospan has also recently launched OSB ECO, an oriented strand board made with formaldehyde-free resins and selected types of timber. The result is ultra low emission at the level of natural wood.
