Poor Indoor Air Quality

People desire good health and for most, their home is the sanctuary that they spend most of their time in. A healthy lifestyle leads to a happy life, and it stems from an individual’s home environment.

Many people often overlook the vast amount of toxic fumes present in our living spaces. They often experience the pungent smell coupled with a watery-eye sensation in their newly renovated homes, but never wondered about the root cause.

Renovation works emit harmful chemicals, particularly from new building and furnishing products. They continuously release pollutants that linger for extended periods of time. These pollutants result in poor indoor air quality which may lead to headaches, fatigue, respiratory irritation and reduced productivity.

Research studies also suggest that long-term high-level exposure to some of these pollutants may increase the risk of cancer.

Health Effects On VOCs Exposure

Short Term Effects	Long Term Effects
Dry / Watery eyes Headache Nausea Cough Breathlessness Tiredness Insomnia Respiratory and skin irritation	Damage to liver Damage to lung Damage to kidney Damage to central nervous system Increased cancer risk

Solution to Healthier Living Space

Singapore Green Label Certified

Low Formdehyle / TVOC

Safe For Indoor Use

Formaldehyde is one of the most common gas that is emitted from newly installed built-in furniture at home through the process called off gassing. This process could take months to years. This is because Formaldehyde-based resin is used in construction materials due to its low cost. It is a growing concern as the toxic discharged can cause health problems overtime. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to high concentrations of Formaldehyde could increase the risk of cancer.

At Micalite, our Decorative Laminate Panels utilise quality raw materials that abide by the low Formaldehyde emission and TVOC standards set down by the "Singapore Green Council". This promises not only environmentally sustainable products but also a safe-to-use product for our consumers.

The Core; The Blockboard

Quality Blockboard

From Sustainable Resources

Low Formdehyle / TVOC

There are a wide range of core material selections in the market. But how well do we understand the core materials used in our renovation works, and are we assured that they are meeting the safety requirements?

At Micalite, we utilise blockboard as the core material due to its stiffer property. We ensure the core material's quality by importing the blockboard directly from carefully-selected blockboard manufacturers that produce and abide by our stringent standards. Playing our part in contributing to a sustainable environment, all our selected manufactures need to comply to the sustainable production forest management.

The Perfect Bonding

Non Toxic

High Bonding Strength

High Temperature Resistance

High Moisture Resistance

The commonly used adhesive to bond the laminate to the core might contain harmful chemicals and also delaminate over the years. Micalite Decorative Laminate Panel and Micalite AquaMax Decorative Panel only utilises imported PUR (Polyurethane) hot-melt adhesive to fuse the surface to the core. Using advance lamination machines, the precise amount of PUR adhesive is coated uniformly over the core before it is fused with the surface material.

Another creative solution from Micalite: the high performance AquaMax Decorative Laminate Panel. It utilises PVC Foamboard (PVCFB) as its core material. PVCFB’s unique properties offer advantages over protection against occasional wetting and high humidity areas like the bathroom or kitchen carcass under sinks. As such, AquaMax Decorative Laminate is used where ultra-high moisture resistance is required.

Aquamax also comes in a single-sided EGGER Laminate Micro lamination with an antibacterial surface property. It is fused with PVCFB using PUR adhesive to further enhance the bonding strength and moisture capabilities.
