2. INTRODUCTION-
● It is also called chipboard, particleboard is an engineered wood
product that is manufactured by compressing wood chips,
sawdust and wood shavings and using a resin binder to hold the
particles together.
● As it uses up waste by-products from the manufacture of
plywood, it can be considered to be sustainable and is far more
cost-effective than other boards.
● Prelaminated particle board is a particle board laminated on
both surfaces by synthetic resin impregnated base papers under
the influence of heat and pressure; or with finished foils under
the influence of pressure or pressure and heat depending upon
the type of binder used.
● Particleboards can be finished with thin sheets of veneer or
laminate to give it a better appearance and make it last longer.
These are called pre-veneered or pre-laminated particle boards.

3. MANUFACTURING–
MATERIALS REQUIRED-
1. Particle Board: Synthetic resin bonded flat pressed three layer
or multilayer or graded particle board used for the
manufacture of pre laminated particle board shall conform to
IS 3087:1985.
2. Impregnated Base Paper: Printed or plain coloured absorbent
base paper having a weight of 60-140 g/m2
impregnated in a
suitable synthetic resin and dried to a volatile content of 4-8
percent shall be used for prelamination on both surfaces of
particle board.
3. Impregnated Overlay: An absorbent tissue paper having a
weight of 18-40 g/m2
impregnated in a suitable synthetic
resin and dried to a volatile content of 4-8 percent shall be
used for the manufacture of prelaminated particle board
PROCESS-
STEP 1:IT is manufactured using low pressure press machines.
These machines are generally used for the prelaminating
these boards.
STEP 2:The process involves impregnation of decorative paper
with melamine resin.
After the process of impregnation, resin is pressed
over the board surfaces with the help of the press machines
.
STEP 3:The next step is to cut it and glue it over the board
surfaces. The decorative laminates that are used with
wood mostly made up of brown kraft paper infused with
phenolic resin and decorative paper impregnated with melamine
resin.

6. Advantages
● Cost benefits: Particleboard is the most cost-effective core material
for your cabinetry. If you are on a tight budget this is the best
material choice, and you will get significant savings over using other
engineered woods or solid wood.
● Eco-friendly: Particleboard utilises all the by-products of the
manufacture of other engineered woods, saving them from the
landfill. This makes it an environmentally friendly product.
● Aesthetic appearance: Particleboards are finished with laminates or
veneers and are available in a variety of colours and wood finishes.
● Lightweight: Particleboards is significantly less heavy than other
boards and this allows for ease of transport and use.
● Acoustic properties: Particleboards have acoustic properties, which
makes them very well suited to make soundproof wall panelling and
in false ceilings.

7. disadvantages
● Absorption of moisture: A major disadvantage of
particleboard is that it absorbs water and expands,
losing its strength and dimensional stability. It cannot
be used outdoors for this reason.
● Strength and durability: Compared to other
materials, particleboard has low strength and
durability. Furniture and cabinets made out of
particle board cannot withstand very rough use or
heavy wear and tear.
● Screw holding capacity: As the cross-section of the
board is soft and brittle, there is limited capacity to
hold screws.
● Stains easily: The unfinished board stains easily,
and therefore to prevent any damage it should be
stored under dry and clean conditions only.
