An emissions test method using an electronic balance was introduced to measure the TVOC emission rates of oil-based wood stains, with a detailed procedure for preparing test specimens. The emission characteristics of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from an artificial wood stain and an oil-based commercial wood stain were determined. Results show that VOC emissions from both stains include a surface evaporation and an internal diffusion sub-process. With regard to time, the entire emission period was divided into three periods: an initial evaporation-controlled period; a transition period; and an internal diffusion-controlled period.
