Extruded Particle Board
Description
This chipboard gets its profile by fabrication with an extrusion press. In contrast to flat press panels where the wooden chips are arranged mainly parallel, the chips of extrusion press manufactured boards are positioned mainly perpendicular to the boards plane. The panels have a low thickness expansion, high compression strength, but a low density. The bending strength is lower than that of flat press panels. The stiffness of the board is achieved by cladding with hardboard, mdf, plywood and such.
Extrusion press chip boards are mainly used a core layer for door manufacturing. Usually the tubes are oriented horizontally within the door. It means, the breadth of the press matches the height of the door.
Applications
- Doors
- Seperating walls
