Particle Board: A Versatile and Cost-Effective Engineered Wood SolutionWhat is Particle Board?

Particle board, also known as chipboard, is an engineered wood panel product made by compressing wood chips, sawmill shavings, and resin binders under high heat and pressure. It is a popular choice for interior projects, furniture manufacturing, and construction due to its affordability, smooth surface, and versatility.

Key Features of Particle Board
Cost-Effective: More affordable than solid wood or plywood.

Smooth Surface: Ideal for laminates, veneers, and paint finishes.

Lightweight: Easy to handle and install.

Eco-Friendly: Made from recycled wood waste, reducing environmental impact.

Types of Particle Board & Their Applications
Particle board comes in different grades and densities, making it suitable for various applications:

  1. Standard Particle Board
    Uses: Shelving, cabinet interiors, and low-load furniture.

Best for: Dry, indoor environments.

  1. Moisture-Resistant (MR) Particle Board
    Treated with water-resistant resins to withstand humidity.

Uses: Kitchen cabinets, bathroom furniture, and underlayment.

  1. Fire-Retardant Particle Board
    Enhanced with fire-resistant chemicals for safety compliance.

Uses: Commercial spaces, offices, and public buildings.
