Selected problems concerning volatile organic compounds emission reduction from thick-veneer pine plywood. The paper presents results of research conducted on volatile organic compounds emissions, considering two different production parameter sets for thick-veneer pine plywood, manufactured in industrial conditions. Both types of plywood were produced from raw wood material, which was hydrothermally treated under two different variants of parameters (I – 47˚C, 19 h; II – 55˚C, 24 h). Based on the results it was stated that severe hydrothermal treatment of raw wood material (longer soaking time, higher temperature) had impact on reduction of plywood VOC emission rates. Main VOCs emitted from pine plywood were monoterpenes and carbonyl compounds. Of the monoterpenes, α-pinene and 3-carene had the highest emission. Of the carbonyl group of compounds, the highest emission had hexanal and caproic acid.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from polypropylene (PP) seriously restricts the application of PP in an automotive field. Herein, the traceability of VOCs from PP resins during manufacturing process and accelerated photoaging degradation was clarified on basis of an accurate characterization method of key VOCs. The influence of PP structures on changing the accelerated photoaging degradation on the VOCs was systematic. The VOCs were identified by means of Gas chromatography (GC) coupled with both a hydrogen flame ion detector (FID) and a mass spectrometry detector (MSD). Results showed that both the molecular structure of PP and the manufacturing process affected the species and contents of VOCs. In addition, the photoaging degradation of PP resulted in a large number of new emerged volatile carbonyl compounds. Our work proposed a possible VOC formation mechanism during the manufacturing and photoaging process. VOCs from PP resins were originated from oligomers and chain random scission during thermomechanical degradation. However, β scission of alkoxy radical and Norrish tape I reactions of ketones via intermediate transition were probably the main VOCs formation routes towards PP during photoaging degradation. This work could provide scientific knowledge on both the accurate traceability of VOCs emissions and new technology for development of low-VOCs PP composites for vehicle.
