On June 1, 2026, the mandatory national standard GB 18580-2025 (formaldehyde emission limit in indoor decoration materials, artificial boards and their products) will be fully implemented in the home decoration industry, marking a historic upgrade in the environmental protection threshold for indoor home decoration!
Many homeowners only focus on the panels and furniture during decoration, but overlook the inconspicuous sealant in the gaps of sinks, toilets, and bathroom cabinets.
The new standard specifies that indoor finished cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and other artificial board products must reach E0 level, completely phasing out high polluting building materials. All auxiliary materials in the entire house must be matched with high environmental standards in order to create a truly healthy home environment.
Today, we will introduce a zero formaldehyde and zero pollution Genesis C-768 kitchen and bathroom specific anti mold adhesive.
01
New national standard | Home decoration environmental protection no longer only depends on the board
Compared with the old version GB 18580-2017, the new mandatory national standard core changes directly hit the pain points of home decoration health:
✅ Mandatory tightening of grading:
The minimum E1 level for artificial board substrates is required, and all indoor finished cabinets, bathroom cabinets, and wooden products must be upgraded to E0 level. Formaldehyde emissions are directly halved, and continuous indoor pollution sources are strictly controlled;
✅ Synchronous control of auxiliary materials:
The cabinet and board are far from meeting the standards, and edge sealing, joint filling, and bonding materials will also continue to release harmful substances. The kitchen and bathroom are exposed to high temperatures and humidity for a long time, and the harmful substances in inferior adhesives evaporate faster, becoming an easily overlooked invisible source of formaldehyde;
✅ Eliminate low standard products:
Starting from June 1st, the production, circulation, and use of high pollution boards and supporting materials that do not meet the new standards are prohibited. Decoration materials must prioritize low formaldehyde, non irritating, and environmentally certified supporting materials.
The kitchen and bathroom, as high-frequency use spaces, have long-term water accumulation in the gaps of sinks, basins, toilets, shower rooms, and bathroom cabinets, making them a high-risk area for mold. The board meets the E0 new national standard, and when combined with environmentally unfriendly sealant, the whole house's environmental protection is equivalent to a failure.

Avoiding pitfalls reminder | Don't step on the 3 major pitfalls when choosing glue
✅ Only focusing on the environmental protection of the board and neglecting the sealing auxiliary materials:
The cabinet meets the E0 new national standard and is equipped with cheap acidic adhesive. It continuously releases formaldehyde in humid environments, but indoor testing still exceeds the standard; Priority should be given to neutral low formaldehyde anti mold adhesive, with unified environmental standards for the entire house.
✅ Seeking low-priced ordinary glue, 1-2 years of mold growth and rework
Ordinary glass glue has no anti mold formula, and the gaps turn black and moldy after half a year. Mold spores float indoors, stimulating the respiratory tract. Repeated replacement can actually increase decoration costs.
✅ Acid glue corrodes cabinet hardware
Acidic glue releases corrosive substances, which can corrode the paint surface of E0 grade boards and bathroom metal accessories, shorten the service life of cabinets and bathrooms. The new standard decoration uniformly uses neutral glue for greater stability.
