NAUF (No added urea formaldehyde) Board (both Particleboard and Thermally-Fused Melamine)

Building owners are increasingly concerned about indoor air quality. That is why we offer the option of casework manufactured with No Added Urea Formaldehyde (NAUF) core materials. Now you have a healthy choice – core materials manufactured with urea formaldehyde-free, high-performance resin, which means lower emissions and lower VOCs.
