🌿 Understanding Emission Levels in Melamine Laminated Particle Board (MFC)
Before choosing a board, it’s important to understand one key term:
💡 What is “Emission”?
Emission refers to the release of substances (mainly formaldehyde) from wood-based panels into the air over time. Lower emission levels mean better indoor air quality, which is safer for homes, offices, and daily living.
⸻
📊 Board Grades Explained (E2, E1, E0 & CARB P2)
Different grades indicate the level of formaldehyde emission:
🔹 E2 Grade
Higher emission level – mainly used for industrial or non-interior applications.
🔹 E1 Grade
Moderate/controlled emission – widely accepted standard for interior use in Malaysia.
🔹 E0 Grade
Very low emission – suitable for projects requiring higher environmental standards.
🔹 CARB P2 (California Air Resources Board Phase 2)
Strict international standard with low formaldehyde emission, often required for export markets.

🇲🇾 Why Malaysia Has Shifted from E2 to E1 Grade?
Over the years, the Malaysian market has moved towards E1 Grade boards due to:
✔ Increased awareness of health & indoor air quality
✔ Demand for safer materials in homes and offices
✔ Alignment with international standards and export requirements
✔ Better compliance with modern building and furniture standards
⸻
