Machinability

Particle Board is easily machinable. It is a reliable and workable substrate for High-Pressure Laminates and veneer. Particle Board is engineered for each of its applications—from industrial, heave-duty applications to residential kitchens and cabinets.

Fabrication

Particle Board is made from wood chips, flakes, and fibers combined with resin or other adhesives then heat pressed into sheets. The sheets are cooled and hardened before being cut and sanded into panels.

The chips, flakes, fibers, and other wood materials used to make Particle Board can be sourced from recycled products for a more sustainable panel.

Particleboard Grading:

ARAUCO Particleboard is M-2 Graded for Industrial use. Each grade of particleboard has different densities, with higher M-grades denoting higher densities and greater resistance to impact and screw fasteners. ARAUCO offers particleboard in a variety of other grades, including M-S, M-3, M-3 and Door core. Industrial Particleboard is classified by its density, which is measured by the weight per cubic foot of the panel product. M-Graded is generally between 40-50 pounds per feet cubed. M-Graded Particleboard is used in the broadest applications of woodwork and is best suited for veneer and laminates.

Particle Board Standards

The American National Standard for Particleboard (ANSI A208.1) is the North American industry voluntary standard that classifies particleboard by physical, mechanical and dimensional characteristics as well as formaldehyde levels. The consensus-based Standard was developed through the sponsorship of the Composite Panel Association (CPA) in conjunction with producers, users and general interest groups.

Third-party certification to ANSI Standards is required for many applications of composite panels. In addition, many building code jurisdictions require the physical properties of particleboard underlayment and stair treads to be third-party certified.
