Question from 4dyami

Hi Debra, I’m about to move into an apartment that has plain particle board on the walls. Will Safecoat safe seal be sufficient for preventing off-gasing into the space? The space has been in this state for the last 10+ years. Thanks! Dyami

Debra’s Answer

Yes, however, if the particleboard is more than ten years old, you may not need to seal it at all.

You can get an inexpensive formaldehyde test kit to test the air and find out if the particleboard is actually emitting formaldehyde.
