CARB 2 Compliance: What Is It? Fibrex's Commitment to Safety and Quali

At Fibrex, we're not just another trim manufacturer. We take immense pride in being a leader in the industry, especially when it comes to upholding stringent safety and environmental standards. One area where we truly shine is our unwavering commitment to CARB Phase 2 compliance. While many competitors might overlook these crucial standards, we place the health and safety of our customers, workers, and the environment at the forefront of everything we do.

What Is CARB 2 Compliance?

CARB Phase 2 compliance refers to the regulations set by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) to limit formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products. These stringent standards are designed to improve indoor air quality and protect public health. CARB 2 has become the benchmark for formaldehyde emissions globally, influencing regulations and practices around the world due to its rigorous criteria.

The Dangers of Formaldehyde Off-Gassing

Formaldehyde off-gassing is a significant health risk that should not be taken lightly. Exposure can lead to respiratory issues, skin irritation, and even certain cancers.

By committing to CARB 2 compliant materials, we significantly reduce these emissions, ensuring a safer indoor environment for your family and customers

What Makes Trim Non-CARB 2 Compliant?

In the world of trim manufacturing, not all materials are created equal. Non-CARB 2 compliant trims often contain high levels of formaldehyde in adhesives and binders, which are used to bond wood fibers. Unfortunately, many manufacturers opt for cheaper materials that fail to meet CARB Phase 2 standards, resulting in higher formaldehyde emissions.

At Fibrex, our factory sources all materials that are certified to meet or exceed CARB 2 requirements, ensuring that we avoid harmful components that could compromise air quality.

Beyond Formaldehyde: Other Dangers CARB 2 Prevents

CARB 2 regulations are designed to address more than just formaldehyde. They also target other harmful emissions from composite wood products, such as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), which can contribute to indoor air pollution and long-term health problems. By adhering to these standards, we ensure our products not only look fantastic but also contribute to a healthier living space.

The Benefits of CARB 2 Certification

For Customers: Choosing CARB 2 certified products means better indoor air quality and reduced exposure to harmful chemicals. You can trust that our products are safe for your home and family.

For Workers: Our dedication to CARB 2 compliance extends to our manufacturing process, creating a safer working environment for our employees by minimizing exposure to harmful substances.
