Indoor air quality

Pladur® classifies its products based on the emission of volatile organic compounds (compounds that are harmful to health), thereby obtaining the highest classification for most of its products

The Pladur® range also includes products such as Pladur® FON+ Air which absorbs up to 60% of formaldehydes and neutralises and transforms them into inert compounds, thus preventing their re-emission into the atmosphere and protecting people in the room.

It is a standard document verified by third parties that provides information on the environmental impact of a product throughout its life cycle.
