Why do big brands use particle board?

1. Good comprehensive performance. The degree of deformation and cracking of particle board is higher than any other board except density board, and the gripping force is higher than density board and some ecological boards. The moisture resistance is higher than density board. The waterproof performance also meets the basic needs. Therefore, from the perspective of some necessary factors required for cabinet making, particle board is the most suitable cabinet board.

2. Good environmental protection. In terms of environmental protection, particle board and density board are currently environmental protection industries encouraged by the state. They are also commonly used in some developed countries abroad. The investment threshold is also relatively high, so some large and well-known board companies have emerged. The environmental protection indicators of these large companies are very environmentally friendly, because they will never produce substandard products.

3. Good production performance. The size of particle board and density board is relatively clear, and the interior is relatively dense, which is convenient for large-scale mechanized machine production and processing.

4. Relatively low cost. Under the same environmental protection index, the cost of ecological board and multi-layer board is higher than that of particle board. One thing to note here is that we are talking about boards with the same environmental protection index.

What are the advantages of solid wood particle board

1. Strong decorative performance: EO-grade solid wood particle board uses wood chips as raw materials. Compared with other boards, it has a wider board surface, a smoother surface, and no defects such as worm eyes or scars, so its decorative effect is very strong.

2. Warping and deformation: Solid wood particle board is not easy to deform, has good stability, high strength, and can withstand heavier objects. It is very popular in the European furniture market.

3. Strong nail holding force: This kind of board has cross-staggered particles inside, so it has strong nail holding force and can withstand different types of nails. In this respect, its performance is better than that of medium-density fiberboard.

4. Good environmental protection: How about eo-grade solid wood particle board? The amount of adhesive used in solid wood particle board is relatively small, so the board is very environmentally friendly. Compared with real solid wood board, it has a wide and flat board surface, will not crack, and has good heat preservation and sound insulation.

What are the environmental protection grades of particle board?

The environmental protection of solid wood particle board is divided into three levels: E0, E1, and E2, which are also the environmental protection level standards formulated by the state. At present, the board can reach the E2 level standard, that is, E2, E1 and E0 boards can all be called environmentally friendly boards, but due to the improvement of consumers' environmental awareness, E1 and E0 boards are now more common on the market.

The amount of formaldehyde contained is different. The formaldehyde concentration of E0 grade is lower than that of E1 grade. According to environmental protection standards, the formaldehyde limit level in the board can be divided into three levels, namely E2≤5.0mg/L, E1≤1.5mg/L, and E0≤0.5mg/L.
