Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDF- These boards are made of particles of wood embedded in synthetic resins, which are then pressed under heat. They are made by extrusion pressing or by pressing between parallel plates.
- In the extrusion pressing process, the particles are oriented in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the board, whereas in the other case (pressing between parallel plates) the particles are oriented parallel to the plane of the board.
- Particle board is heavier than solid wood. Further, it provides broad and stable panels of reasonable strength. They can be sawn just like regular wood. Particle boards are preferred for furniture works than for construction works.
