From moisture resistant to flame retardant to no-added formaldehyde, SierraPine has an MDF panel to suit your every need. Products include: Arreis, FibrLite Free, Medex, Medite II, Medite II 3D, Medite MR50, Medite FR, and Arreis FR. Description All of the above product families are composed of varying levels of wood fiber, resin, wax, and possibly the flame-retardant additive where specified. This HPD is based on the worst-case products, Medite FR/Arreis FR*, a flame retardant MDF product with flame retardant additive blended with the fiber throughout the panel. Note that specific hazards are associated with the flame retardant additive and will not be present in non-flame-retardant products. MDF products are manufactured at the following SierraPine's site(s): 1. : 2685 N Pacific Hwy,, OR *Arreis FR is the export brand name of the Medite FR product. Medite FR and Arreis FR have the same product formulation.

2 The HPD Standard is solely a declaration of product content and direct health hazards associated with exposure to its individual contents. It is not a full assessment of environmental impacts from the life cycle of this product. It is not an assessment of risks associated with actual use of the product. It does not address the potential health impacts of substances used or created during manufacture that do not appear in the final product as residuals, nor substances created during combustion or other degradation processes. This Health Product Declaration was generated following the requirements of the noted Standard version and is valid for a total of three years after date of issue or three months after a substantive change of product contents occurs. Users should verify that this Health Product Declaration is compliant with the most current version of the HPD Standard. Accuracy of claims made in this Health Product Declaration is the sole responsibility of the listed manufacturer and certifier (if applicable). The HPD Collaborative does not warrant any claim made herein, explicit or implicit. The HPD Standard is an open standard developed and managed by the HPD Collaborative, a nonprofit organization.

All hazards listed above are associated with wood dust specifically. As with all wood-based products, exposure to wood dust is only expected during manual or mechanical cutting or abrasion processes performed on the MDF products. Use of common-sense protective gear is recommended. Screening "Wood Fiber" or "Cellulose" in the Pharos Chemical and Pharos Library does not return any associated hazards. SierraPine has chosen to include the hazards here in an effort to provide transparency to the customer. All wood fiber is qualified as 100% pre-consumer (post-industrial) recycled wood by SCS Global Services. See "Certifications and Compliance" section for more information.

The ATCM to control formaldehyde emissions from composite wood products was approved on April 18, 2008, by the Office of Administrative Law. The regulation has been filed with the Secretary of State to be codified into Title 17 of the California Code of Regulations, and is now immediately effective. The first emission standards were implemented on January 1, Refer to Executive Order #N for the applicable product families.

The following products are certified as "No Added Formaldehyde": Arreis, Arreis FR, FibrLite Free, Medex, Medite II, Medite II 3D, Medite MR50, Medite FR. Certificate/Registration Number or ID: SCS-NAF Other - FSC Chain of Custody FSC Chain of Custody and FSC Mix Credit SCS Global Services Third party 2/27/2013 2/26/ See FSC website for specific applications. FSC-certified SierraPine MDF products are available upon request. FSC Chain-of-Custody certification traces the path of products from forests through the supply chain, verifying that FSC-certified material is identified or kept separated from non-certified material throughout the chain. Any company in this supply chain, including harvesters, processors, manufacturers, distributors, printers, retailers or anyone that is taking ownership of the forest product before the end user, needs to be FSC certified to be able to label or promote their products as FSC certified. The FSC Mix label was introduced in 2004 and allows manufacturers to mix FSC-certified material with non-certified materials in FSC-labeled products under controlled conditions. The non-certified material subject to these controlled conditions is referred to as "Controlled Wood." This system has enabled manufacturers to maintain an efficient supply chain while creating demand for FSC-certified products.

7 ACCESSORY MATERIALS This section is for additional products required by warranty or recommended by the manufacturer for installation (such as adhesives, fasteners, or factory coatings) or for maintenance, cleaning, or operations. Refer to Health Product Declarations, published separately for a complete view of these products. Note: This declaration is not intended to address hazards of the installation process. Required or recommended product Condition when required or recommended and/or other notes URL for companion Health Product Declaration 01 Various depending on application. No HPD available Refer to Architectural Woodwork Standards (AWS) for installation instructions including a list of necessary accessory materials NOTES This HPD is based on the worst-case product, Medite FR, a flame retardant MDF product with flame retardant additive blended with the fiber throughout the panel. Note that specific hazards are associated with the flame retardant additive and will not be present in non-flame-retardant products. Hazards and GreenScreen score associated with wood dust will be applicable to any wood-based product. The GreenScreen score for wood dust is Benchmark 1 (BM1) while wood (fiber, chips, planks, logs, etc) has an unspecified score (U). As with all wood products, exposure to wood dust is only expected during manual or mechanical cutting or abrasion processes performed on the MDF products. Use of common-sense protective gear is recommended. SierraPine has chosen to include the hazards here in an effort to provide transparency to the customer. Additionally, hazards associated with MDI resin (cancer, respiratory, eye irritation, skin irritation, and multiple) are not expected as all MDF products are cured. The US EPA cites a study by Krone & Klinger (2005) "Completely cured products are fully reacted and therefore are considered to be inert and non-toxic." MDI resin is the industry standard for a safer alternative to formaldehyde-based resins. MDI resin is the industry standard for a safer alternative to formaldehyde-based resins. (sources: and From the SierraPine website ( "Sustainable composite wood products manufactured by SierraPine demonstrate the significant commitment we have made toward innovation and environmental stewardship, and represent the future of engineered composite panels. This category includes a broad range of high quality particleboard, medium density fiberboard and MDF mouldings. Together, these products showcase the efforts initiated nearly two decades ago to lead the industry in developing and marketing environmentally preferable composite panel products. They also highlight the level of expertise SierraPine commands regarding new technologies and research & development. Applications for these products include cabinetry, furniture, fixtures, mouldings, and millwork. All Sustainable Products meet or exceed the most stringent global emission standards and are made with recycled wood content. All of our products are third party certified by SCS and ECC, and are compliant with the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS) by passing the rigorous California Section testing. Working on a LEED Project? You ll be pleased to know that all of SierraPine s products contribute to points for Materials & Resources - Recycled Content. [This HPD meets requirements for LEEDv4 Building product disclosure and optimization - material ingredients. ] In addition, we have a line of Sustainable Design Fiberboard products that contribute to Indoor Environmental Quality points due to our manufacturing process that uses a formaldehyde free binder system."
