Measurements of volatile organic compound emissions from wood stains using an electronic balance.

Author(s) : ZHANG J. S., NONG G., SHAW C. Y., et al.

Summary

The emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from an artificial wood stain and an oil-based commercial wood stain were determined. Results showed that VOC emissions from both stains included a surface evaporation and an internal diffusion sub-process. With regard to time, the entire emission period could be divided into three periods, each having its proper emission profile. The presence of additional VOCs in the commercial wood stain might have also affected the emission profiles. These results are useful for developing better models for predicting the emission rates. The electronic balance method was also compared with the "chamber method".
