[GreenGoals]

Hello - I hope someone here can help me. I work for a company that is trying to be kinder to the environment and one of the guidelines is that we only purchase lumber/wood that has no added urea-formaldehyde resins. I understand that plywood and composite wood products often contain these resins. But do others? What is pressure-treated wood treated with? I'm just finding "preservatives" but that doesn't really help. Thanks for any help!!

There are no resins inside PT lumber.

Nope,... No resins in kiln dried lumber either,...

The 2 previous posts are certainly right on. Any type of wood that is a build up assembly of various pieces like those mentioned earlier and others such as laminated beams etc. all will have urea-formaldehyde based adhesives in them.
