Do you really understand how to use the board correctly?

2025-10-06

Core board, plywood, blockboard, and integrated board are the most basic wood-based panels used in the furniture and interior decoration industries. Due to the characteristics of natural wood materials, if they are handled carelessly, it is easy to damage the board and affect its use. Next, the editor will explain the three aspects of transportation, storage, and use.

transportation:

1. During transportation, single or multiple boards must be protected with pads on the upper and lower sides. They must not be exposed to rain or water. They must be placed flat in a ventilated and dry place to prevent mold, deformation, degumming and cracking of the board surface due to moisture or exposure to the sun.

store:

1. When placed in a warehouse or decoration site, avoid mixing it with materials that release excessive formaldehyde (such as formaldehyde-exceeding boards, floors, etc.) to avoid secondary contamination of the boards by free formaldehyde.

2. After opening the package, it should be used promptly. If the use period is too long, the temporarily unused product should be packaged properly, and the bottom and top layers of the board should be placed with complete pads and cover plates to prevent the outermost finished product from being exposed to a humid environment for a long time, resulting in uneven moisture content and causing warping and deformation of the board.

use:

On-site requirements:

1. Commonly used specifications of core boards, plywood, blockboard, and integrated boards are non-structural man-made board materials. They should be used in mechanically balanced areas during use to avoid deformation or breakage caused by excessive external forces.

2. Non-specially marked core boards, plywood, blockboard and integrated boards are all indoor materials and are not suitable for outdoor landscaping and the production of corresponding wood products.

3. Before use, inspect the product's specifications, dimensions, moisture content, formaldehyde emission level, and appearance (such as cracking, blistering, bottom shedding, carbonization, and insect holes) to ensure they meet quality requirements. Only process and use the product if no abnormalities are present. Minor gaps within the core board are within the standard and permitted range and do not constitute a quality issue. This product is not suitable for use in moisture-prone areas such as bathrooms and kitchens. The walls being refinished should be dry and moisture-proofed. Do not use wood rebar or base materials with a moisture content exceeding 14%.

4. For bonding of boards, you should choose adhesives with guaranteed quality; for oil finishing of board surface, it is recommended to avoid using water-based paint.

5. The integrated board should be sealed with primer on both sides before use; when the integrated board is used for bare installation, its physical strength should be fully considered, the area should not be too large, and borders or cross braces should be added; when making open wardrobes or other large home cabinets, the whole board must not be used, and expansion joints must be reserved.

Application Description/Requirements:

1. When core boards, plywood, blockboard and integrated boards are used in customized interior decoration projects, the room should maintain a certain degree of dryness. If the humidity is high during the rainy season and causes woodlice to spread to the surface of the product, it has nothing to do with the material and performance of the product, but is caused by the influence of environmental humidity.

2. Various types of artificial board products are made of wood materials and contain various wood extracts, most of which are aliphatic compounds, terpenes or terpenoids, aromatic compounds, etc. The wood smell they release is a natural component and does not contain volatile harmful substances such as formaldehyde and TVOC.

3. For indoor use, all types of wood products based on core board, plywood, blockboard, and integrated boards should be tested for formaldehyde concentration according to the national standard "Indoor Air Quality Standard" GB/T18883-2002. Do not use simple formaldehyde testers to determine formaldehyde levels in the air. Commercially available formaldehyde testers use electrochemical sensors that are affected by wood odors, small molecules, alcohol-based perfumes, and other alcohols, resulting in falsely high formaldehyde test results. The environmental performance of a board should be determined based on its labeled formaldehyde emission level.
