Particle board is a classic wood based panel, made from high quality particles of wood / bagasse. It is a low – density board with density range from 650 kgs to 750 kgs per cubic meter. Particle board Plants are specially designed to produce an effective alternative for wood based panel products. The Plant utilizes low cost agri wastes resulting in a high quality & versatile panel product with virtually unlimited applications. Particleboard is accepted universally. The extensive range of Pre Laminated Boards is a remarkable for its superior quality, extraordinary finish and durable characteristics all over the globe. These are manufactured using décor paper which is impregnated with melamine and is machine pressed onto both surfaces of the particle board, under a controlled temperature and pressure. As a result, these boards boast of a virtually imperishable permanent bonding between the board and the laminate. The range is in compliance with as the Indian specifications (BIS), as well as with the rigid German DIN, British and American Standards. Advantages Easy to clean and maintain, Consistent quality, Adherence to international standards, Economical board sizes resulting in minimal wastage, Excellent acoustic properties, High bending strength, Excellent machinability, Saves both time and labour, The widest spectrum of applications, Free from warpage and peeling of laminates, Easy to install, Ready to use etc. Applications Building and Construction, Panel doors and flush doors, Flooring, Partitioning, Wall paneling, false ceiling, Exhibitions and many more… Market Survey The average product carries about 50% wood, generally in particulate form, such as wood flour or very short fibers. Pre Laminated Particle Board represents one of the rapidly growing markets within the plastics industry. The demand for Pre Laminated Particle Board and plastic lumber is projected to advance about 10% pa through 2011 to US$5.4 bln. These alternative lumber materials are expected to continue to penetrate the building materials market at a rapid pace, particularly in decking applications.
