Very low emission levels for TRE C metal ceilings, supporting indoor air quality.
TRE C has completed a new series of tests on the emissions of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from its painted metal ceiling panels and planks.
The tests, carried out in accordance with UNI EN ISO 16000-9, UNI ISO 16000-6 and UNI ISO 16000-3, showed particularly low emission levels.
After 28 days of testing, the following values were recorded:
- TVOC: 15 µg/m³
- Formaldehyde: <3 µg/m³
- Benzene: <1 µg/m³
- Values below the quantification limits were also recorded for additional monitored substances.
These results confirm TRE C’s commitment not only to the mechanical, aesthetic and functional performance of its metal ceilings, but also to aspects related to indoor air quality.
A real advantage in environments with high hygiene and healthcare requirements
Controlling VOC emissions is particularly important in buildings where air quality, hygiene and environmental comfort are key design requirements.
TRE C systems are therefore particularly suitable for applications such as:
hospitals and healthcare facilities, outpatient clinics, laboratories, nursing homes, schools, public buildings, offices and environments with prolonged human occupancy.
The metal construction of the panels also provides durable, easy-to-clean surfaces, compatible with solutions designed for environments requiring high standards of maintenance and hygiene.
For specific applications, panels can also be supplied with an antibacterial surface treatment.
In CLIP-IN systems, a neoprene gasket installed between adjacent panels can also be provided on request, designed to minimise air exchange and the passage of airborne particles between the ceiling void and the room below.
Indoor air quality and sustainable design
VOC emission testing forms part of TRE C’s ongoing development of ceiling systems increasingly suited to the requirements of contemporary building design, with particular attention to:
indoor air quality, material sustainability, recyclability, CAM requirements and performance requirements for buildings with high environmental standards.
The results of these new tests therefore provide designers, general contractors and clients with additional technical documentation when selecting metal ceiling systems for particularly sensitive environments.
