Tex-Lam Manufacturing now offers a specialty particleboard panel that can contribute towards specific credits under the US Green Building Council (USGBC) Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design (LEED) criteria.

Free of Added Urea Formaldehyde

New TemStock-Free from Temple-Inland available through Tex-Lam Mfg. offers designers, specifiers and manufacturers a premium particleboard choice with formaldehyde emission levels so low as to be indiscernible from levels found throughout nature. In addition, TemStock-Free meets the Environmentally Preferable Product (EPP) specification CPA 3-08 requiring 100% recycled/recovered fiber content. That means TemStock-Free delivers a strong combination of green-building benefits that can contribute toward points in both LEED and Green Globe rating systems.

Recycled Content Certification

TemStock-Free is certified by the Composite Panel Association (CPA) to comply to their Environmentally Preferable Product (EPP) specification CPA 3-08. This certification verifies that all TemStock-Free particleboard produced by Temple-Inland contains 100% recycled and/or recovered fiber.
