3. Results and discussion
Figs. 3 and 4 show the TVOC and 5VOC emission behavior at
25 C, 35 C and 45 C using the TE test method. A higher
temperature resulted in a higher TVOC and 5VOC emission rate
from the engineered and laminate flooring. The TVOC emission rate
of the laminate flooring at 25 C, 35 C and 45 C were 4.139, 8.715
and 14.980 mg/m2 h, respectively. In contrast, the TVOC emission
rate from the engineered flooring at 25 C, 35 C and 45 C were
0.787, 2.081 and 4.103 mg/m2 h, respectively. The rate of TVOC and
5VOC emission from the laminate flooring was higher than that
from engineered flooring (Table 2) (Table 3).
