Analysis of the practical effect of polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent for improving indoor air quality: from theory to practice
Introduction
With the acceleration of urbanization and the improvement of people’s living standards, indoor air quality issues have attracted increasing attention. Formaldehyde, as a common indoor air pollutant, poses a serious threat to human health. As a new indoor air purification material, polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent has gradually become the focus of market attention due to its high efficiency, environmental protection and durability. This article will comprehensively analyze the actual effect of polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent in improving indoor air quality from theory to practice.
1. Theoretical basis of polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent
1.1 Hazards of Formaldehyde
Formaldehyde is a colorless, strongly irritating gas, and is widely present in building materials, furniture, and decorative materials. Long-term exposure to high-concentration formaldehyde environments can lead to respiratory diseases, skin allergies, and even cancer. Therefore, effective removal of indoor formaldehyde has become the key to improving indoor air quality.
1.2 Working principle of polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent
Polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent mainly removes formaldehyde through physical adsorption and chemical decomposition. Its porous structure can effectively adsorb formaldehyde molecules in the air, and at the same time, its surface-supported catalyst can decompose the adsorbed formaldehyde into harmless water and carbon dioxide.
1.3 Advantages of polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent
- High efficiency: Polyurethane sponges have an extremely high specific surface area and can adsorb a large number of formaldehyde molecules.
- Permanence: Through chemical decomposition, polyurethane sponge aldehyde removal agent can continuously remove formaldehyde and avoid secondary contamination.
- Environmentality: Polyurethane sponge materials are non-toxic and harmless, and can be recycled.
- Wide applicability: Suitable for various indoor environments, such as homes, offices, schools, etc.
