TemStock-Free from Temple-Inland offers designers, specifiers and manufacturers a no added formaldehyde (NAF) particleboard choice with emission levels more than 3 times lower than CARB Phase 2 standards. In addition, TemStock-Free meets the Eco-Certified Composite (ECC) Standard, the most stringent environmental certification program available for composite panel products. That means TemStock-Free delivers a strong combination of green-building benefits that can earn points in both LEED, NAHB National Green Building Program and Green Globes rating systems.

Particleboard produced at Temple-Inland's Monroeville, Alabama, Hope, Arkansas, Thomson, Georgia, and Diboll, Texas, facilities that is certified to conform to the requirements of Forest Stewardship Council™ standards for Chain of Custody, Controlled Wood and Reclaimed Material manufacturing is available by special order.
Formaldehyde Emissions
Large chamber air sample testing of Temple-Inland TemStock-Free has been conducted per ASTM E1333-96 (2002) to verify its conformance to formaldehyde emission standards is superior to the ANSI 208.1-2009 upper limit of 0.09-ppm in Section 3.4. In fact, TemStock-Free's emission levels are a fraction of those allowed in ANSI 208.1-2009 Table B and HUD CFR Part 3280 Formaldehyde Emission Requirements.
