Increased attention is being given to green buildings and sustainable design, especially as it pertains to the quality of
the indoor environment and the presence of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC’s) within it.
Many of our mineral fiber acoustical ceilings have no-added formaldehyde. All other Armstrong ceilings are classified as low
formaldehyde.
No-Added Formaldehyde Ceilings
Many Armstrong acoustical mineral fiber ceilings are formulated with no added formaldehyde and they outperform CHPS (the collaborative for high performance schools) Section 01350 requirements on emissions.
Several products in this category meet the most stringent requirements set by CA Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment
(OEHHA), contributing less than 2.5 ppb of formaldehyde when used under typical conditions required by ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004,
“Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality”, California Code of Regulations, Title 245, and third party certified test
reports from independent laboratories are available. Contact TechLine at 877 276-7876.
Low Formaldehyde Ceilings
Armstrong acoustical mineral fiber and fiberglass ceilings are classified as low formaldehyde, contributing less than 13.5
ppb when used under typical conditions required by ASHRAE Standard 62.1-2004, “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality”,
California Code of Regulations, Title 24, and other building types outlined in CHPS Section 01350. For project-specific calculation
and test reports, contact TechLine at 877-276-7876.
Wall Systems
In 2007, Armstrong introduced Ekos™ Wood Wall System, the only wood wall system in the industry with no-added formaldehyde and no formaldehyde emissions.
