Many people, when they hearparticleboard，think it's full of glue and not environmentally friendly at all. Conversely, particleboard has a more uniform structure; it does not have such a high concentration difference as plywood, so its formaldehyde release sometimes is even lower than plywood.

   Particleboard made from solid woodis a type of particleboard, and there are also significant differences between the two.

   particleboard，is made by cutting various branches, small-diameter wood, fast-growing wood, wood chips, etc., into fragments of a certain specification, drying them, mixing them with adhesives, hardeners, water-proof agents, etc., and then pressing them into a type of man-made board under certain temperature and pressure; the arrangement of particles is uneven.

   Particleboard made from solid wood，its production mainly uses particleboard technology, it is an upgrade of particleboard. The difference is that particleboard made from solid wood is made by using special equipment to cut solid wood particles into regular lengths and sizes, then drying, applying adhesive, and using special equipment to lay the surface and core layers of wood chips crisscross directionally, and finally hot-pressing into shape. After drying, it has a small expansion coefficient and better moisture resistance. Since the particles are layered and oriented, its internal texture is uniform, and its nail-holding force, bending strength, and stability are stronger than those of ordinary particleboard.

   Particleboard made from solid woodand retains more of the essence of wood. It has good stability and uniform texture. As a new and environmentally friendly base material, it is widely used by furniture manufacturers in Europe and America. The domestic high-quality panel furniture market is also starting to use this type of board material on a large scale.

In the domestic panel furniture industry, most of them useParticleboard made from solid wood(a type of particleboard) or medium-density fiberboard (a type of density board). In some panel furniture, some base materials use solid wood particleboard, and some use density board.

So what are the advantages of solid wood particleboard?

Stronger decorative performance

The surface of particleboard is smooth and delicate, without knots, wormholes, warping, or cracking. It has high physical and mechanical strength, equal longitudinal and transverse strength, sound insulation, mildew resistance, economy, heat preservation, and other advantages, making it more decorative than other wood.

Less prone to warping and deformation

Solid wood particleboard has small warping and deformation, good dimensional stability, high strength, and good rigidity. It does not easily bend even with heavy clothing. In the European furniture market, the main man-made board used is also solid wood particleboard.

Stronger nail-holding force

The inside of solid wood particleboard is a crisscross granular structure. Therefore, it has a strong nail-holding force, and can hold round nails, screws, etc.

Good processability

Solid wood particleboard has high density and good physical and mechanical properties. Among various man-made boards, it is close to wood and superior to wood. The inside of solid wood particleboard is a crisscross granular structure, with particles arranged in a certain direction. Its significant characteristic of much greater longitudinal bending strength than transverse strength, as well as its ability to undergo sawing, sanding, planing, drilling, nailing, filing, etc., makes it a good material for the furniture industry.

Wide range of applications

Similar to plywood, solid wood particleboard has good mechanical properties and is suitable for use as a decorative structural material. In terms of processing performance, processing quality, service life, and economic benefits, solid wood particleboard is an ideal material for furniture making and interior decoration.

Affordable Price

Solid wood particleboard has a more competitive price. With the increasing scarcity of forest resources and the decrease in large-diameter timber, the use of man-made boards will only increase. Compared with solid wood, it is cheaper, more practical, and easier to maintain. Its environmental protection is also more reassuring and worth choosing.

Disadvantages

Glue is used during processing, and the environmental protection performance is slightly inferior to solid wood boards; however, the amount of glue used is small, and the environmental protection factor is still relatively high. Because the edges are rough and easily absorb moisture, the edge sealing process of furniture made of particleboard is particularly important. This is firstly to prevent formaldehyde from being released from the edges and secondly to prevent it from absorbing water and deforming. The internal flatness of solid wood particleboard is not as good as density board, making it difficult to make curves and shapes.

Environmental performance

Solid wood particleboard uses solid wood scraps, and this essence determines its environmental friendliness, avoiding the secondary waste of materials. Abroad, 70% of furniture base materials use solid wood particleboard. Everyone should contribute to sustainable development. China's standard for formaldehyde release of man-made boards is E1 ≤ 0.124 mg/m³.

Based on a high sense of social responsibility, Zhigong has been committed to the research of environmentally friendly furniture and pays close attention to the harm of harmful substances such as formaldehyde to the human body. The board materials used in Zhigong furniture have a formaldehyde release of ≤0.05 mg/m³, which is far superior to the national environmental protection standards. At the same time, it implements the strict US CARB P2 environmental protection certification. To ensure that the products and services we provide always maintain good quality, we have also obtained many environmental protection certifications, truly protecting your health.
