Ecology and Environment

The environmental compatibility of our products results from the input of materials such as natural timbers, glue systems with an extremely low content of formaldehyde and a gentle, ecologically path-breaking manufacturing process. Final products can be composted and thermally used.

1. Primary Products
Domestic timbers are used for the production of HDF/MDF HOMADUR®, especially roundwood and scrap wood from sawmills.

2. Adhesives
Adhesives, which belong to the group of duroplastic glues, are used; that means that they are reactant adhesives such as urea formaldehyde condensates or mixed condensates based on urea, melamine, phenol, and formaldehyde. All glues we use are "E1"-adhesives.

3. Lacquers
The "Aqueous dispersion paints" used for lacquering are protected by "AC-UV lacquer".

4. Manufacturing Process
HDF/MDF HOMADUR® is produced in the environment- friendly dry process. After heating the chipped timbers under pressure and temperature with subsequent defibration, the moist woodfibre that contains adhesives is gently dried in a warm air stream. Further processing - pressing in the hot press - is carried out dryly. The exhaust vapours emerging from the process of drying and pressing are passed onto an air washer, especially developed for this purpose. Wastewater resulting from this will be cleaned and re-used. The substances remaining after the manufacturing process can be materially and thermally almost completely re-used.

5. Disposal of HDF/MDF HOMADUR® after use
HDF/MDF products can be incinerated without problems because they are not treated with PVC or halogen-organic substances.
