Note on Urea Formaldehyde

ShowHide
Harmful urea-formaldehyde resins can be found in some glues used in composite woods, such as; plywood paneling, medium density fiberboard (MDF) and door cores. While formaldehyde is a naturally occurring VOC, it is carcinogenic and an irritant in larger concentrations. A “green” product under Division 6 would not contain any added urea-formaldehyde.
