Over the past ten years, ICRO has paid special attention to the health and well-being of its customers, choosing to produce only formaldehyde-free water-based coatings and enamels from the ICROWOOD line. This commitment was driven by the realisation that formaldehyde, classified as a volatile organic compound (VOC), poses a serious risk to indoor comfort and health.
Formaldehyde is recognised for its toxic properties and its ability to pollute the air we breathe. For the past decade, however, ICRO has chosen to differentiate itself on the market, developing products that not only comply with legal limits, but also stand as a conscious choice for a healthier environment. ICROWOOD products are completely formaldehyde-free thanks to the absence of resins and additives containing this compound. In addition, their formaldehyde content remains below the thresholds of Annex VI of the CLP Regulation: B, D.
The product range offered by ICRO has certifications such as; A+, M1, Green Guard and IMOMED, which attest to the safety and sustainability of the coatings and enamels. This positioning allows the company to guarantee a high standard of protection for human health and the environment, effectively helping to reduce the impact of VOCs in interior spaces.
In addition, ICRO is prepared for the new regulations that will come into force as of 6 August 2026, as stipulated in Regulation 2023/1464/EU. The most important provisions concern the concentration of formaldehyde, establishing a limit of 0.062 mg/m³ for furniture and wood-based articles and 0.080 mg/m³ for articles other than furniture and wood-based articles. ICRO’s proactive approach, consolidated over the years, allows it to be fully compliant with these future directives, while continuing to guarantee safe, high quality products.
In conclusion, ICRO stands out in the industry landscape not only for its innovative offer of formaldehyde-free products, but also for its constant commitment to safeguarding public health and environmental quality. The choice to invest in alternative materials and sustainable production processes represents a social responsibility that ICRO continues to pursue with determination.
