PARTICLE BOARD

Particle board, also known as chipboard or low-density fiberboard, is an engineered

wood product manufactured from wood chips and a synthetic resin or another suitable binder,

which is pressed and extruded.[1] Particle board is often confused with oriented strand

board (OSB) (also known as flakeboard, or wafer board), a different type of fiberboard that uses

machined wood flakes and offers more strength.

Particle board is cheaper, denser, and more uniform than conventional wood and plywood and

is substituted for them when the cost is more important than strength and appearance.

Particleboard can be made more appealing by painting or the use of wood veneers on visible

surfaces. Though it is denser than conventional wood, it is the lightest and weakest type of

fiberboard, except for the insulation board. Medium-density fiberboard and hardboard, also

called high-density fiberboard, are stronger and denser than particleboard. Different grades of

particleboard have different densities, with higher density connoting greater strength and

greater resistance to failure of screw fasteners.

A significant disadvantage of particleboard is its susceptibility to expansion and discoloration

from moisture absorption, particularly when it is not covered with paint or another sealer.

Therefore, it is rarely used outdoors or in places where there are high levels of moisture, except

in bathrooms, kitchens, and laundries, where it is commonly used as an underlayment shielded

beneath a moisture-resistant continuous sheet of vinyl flooring.

In dry environments, veneered particleboard is preferred over veneered plywood because of its

stability, lower cost, and convenience.
