Huber Engineered Wood Products
Huber Blue engineered wood panels contain phenolic resin for binding. Tests
by U.S. Forest Products Laboratory and Oak Ridge National Laboratory have
found formaldehyde emissions from panels bonded with phenolic resin to be
nonexistent or negligible. The Federal Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) has exempted wood panel products bonded with phenolic
adhesives from all formaldehyde testing requirements.
