TAIPEI, TAIWAN- Media Outreach – 21 December 2020 – The
friendly interaction between humans and the environment is even more important as
the COVID-19 is spreading globally. Considering
the health of general public and the rising trend of green circular economy, Alliance Materials
Technology Corp. Ltd. established in 2018,
focuses primarily on the research development and production of formaldehyde-free
and nontoxic eco-friendly biomaterials.
Ecohere™ NAF Adhesive Mixing
As
publicly announced by the WHO, formaldehyde is classified as Group 1 carcinogen
that is commonly found in traditional adhesives usually used in construction. Alliance
Materials finally developed a safe and nontoxic Ecohere™ NAF Adhesive
after numerous experiments. The Ecohere™ NAF Adhesive uses
cellulose as raw material as it is easy to obtain and widely available in
nature. Comparing with the existing soy-based NAF adhesive, the raw material
has no conflict with the general public over food resources. This product had
already obtained patents from Taiwan, the US, Japan and Mainland China, and
could be applied onto wooden furniture, solid wood floors and bamboo panels or
other relevant wood products.
Tony
Chen, CEO of Alliance Materials, said “Ecohere™ NAF Adhesive uses
nontoxic biomaterials as precursors to achieve formaldehyde-free status.
Products and building materials that use this adhesive are able to fulfill the
strict standards of US No-added formaldehyde (NAF) and the formaldehyde
emission standards for wood products of US Environmental Protection Agency
Toxic Substances Control ACT (TSCA) Title Vl.” In other words, the relevant
wood products could be recycled and reused without any need for detoxification,
achieving the goal of circular economy. The crosslink structure of the adhesive
chemically bonds with the wood materials, therefore is not easily unglued. In
addition to the strong durability of its adhesive, it also passes the most
rigid water-resistant test. When used upon curved products, there are no
warping nor delamination problems, with excellent evenness and durability,
showing a perfect balance between practicality and environmental protection.
Caring for the earth
means caring for ourselves. Non-toxic and environmentally friendly products are
already a global trend and the mission of Alliance Materials continue to
develop.
