Premium Board Grades

Decorative Particle Board is available in a variety of grades, including OSB-1, OSB-2, OSB-3 and OSB-4, with OSB-4 offering the highest resistance to moisture and structural deformation. The moisture resistance coefficient of OSB-4 boards is above 0.95, a significant improvement over OSB-1's 0.65. This allows OSB-4 to absorb water and expand only 3% - 5% when used in a humid environment, much lower than OSB-1's 8% - 12%, effectively preventing the board from deforming or being damaged by water absorption, and extending the board's service life.

Three-layer staggered structure

The board is designed with a three-layer structure, with each layer of shavings laid horizontally and vertically. This structure not only improves the overall strength of the board, but also enhances its stability and resistance to deformation. Experimental data shows that the static bending strength of the three-layer staggered Decorative Particle Board can reach 35 - 45 MPa, which is 40% - 60% higher than that of ordinary single-layer structural boards. This structural design enables the board to evenly disperse stress when bearing weight and external force, reducing the risk of cracking and deformation, and ensuring long-term reliability.

Moderate density

The density of Decorative Particle Board is usually 600-750 kg/m³, which makes it have good strength and relatively light weight. In practical applications, boards with a density of 600-750 kg/m³ can not only ensure sufficient load-bearing capacity, but also be easy to process and carry. For example, when making furniture, the weight of a board with a density of 650 kg/m³ is only 60%-70% of that of a solid wood board, which greatly reduces the difficulty and transportation cost of furniture while maintaining good durability.

Rich thickness specifications

The board is available in a variety of thickness specifications, including 6mm, 9mm, 11mm, 15mm, 18mm, 25mm, etc. Boards of different thicknesses are suitable for different application scenarios. For example, 6mm thick boards are often used to make lightweight partitions and decorative panels; 18mm thick boards are suitable for furniture frames and floor bases with high load-bearing requirements. Experiments show that when the 18mm thick Decorative Particle Board is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 1000N, its deflection is only 2.3mm, which is much lower than the 5mm specified in the building decoration standard, ensuring the stability and safety of the structure.

Standard size specifications

The common size specifications of Decorative Particle Board are 1220×2440mm (4×8ft) or 1250×2500mm (European standard).
