Introduction
Particle
Board is a panel product. It is manufactured by gluing
particles of wood. Particles are flakes, shavings and
splinters produced by cutting or breaking. Made from
recycled agricultural fibre, it is coloured with non-toxic,
water based dyes. The texture you see or feel comes
from the fibre content, not found in other similar products.
For the production of particle boards a well planned
manufacturing process and quality inspection is needed.
MDF is a type of fibreboard made from wood or lignocellulosic
material refined into fibres and reconstituted with
a resin binder (glue) carrying elevated temperatures.
MDF has a homogeneous structure with uniform texture
and properties throughout. It is easier to machine than
natural wood and can be laminated and shaped very evenly
and smoothly.
Typical applications include drawer bottoms, backs of
cabinets and center panels in framed doors, wall and
ceiling panelling and due to its excellent acoustic
properties it is also being successfully used in Hi-Fi
equipment. How you use MDF
Range
Green Lamiboard is a prelaminated melamine faced 3-layered
particle board. The plain particle boards are made from
plantation hardwood timber
agro waste. The same are laminated with melamine impregnated
high grammage imported paper on either side. Green lamiboard
is an eco-friendly alternative to conventional timber,
plywood and block board. Apart from IS: 12823 Grade
II, Type II. It also conforms to international standards.
