How to choose the pattern and base material of ecological board?

2025-10-17

Simply put, the production process of eco-friendly boards involves processing and pressing veneer papers of varying colors and textures into veneer panels. These panels are then applied to particleboard, MDF, plywood, blockboard, solid wood core, or other substrates, completing the production process through multiple steps. So, what are the differences between the colors and substrates of eco-friendly boards, and how should one choose one?

Eco-board color:

Eco-board is also called paint-free board. Since it does not require paint, it is definitely different from the original blockboard processing. First, let's take a look at the differences between the surface of eco-board and blockboard.

Obviously, since ecological boards do not require paint treatment, they effectively avoid the troubles caused by uneven painters' craftsmanship, and the appearance of ecological boards is more perfect than those treated with paint.

The difference between eco-board facing paper:

Eco-board veneer is made from processed papers of varying colors and textures. Paper itself is differentiated, with surface paper being categorized as "ink paper" and "pigment paper." Ink paper offers vibrant, rich colors, more resembling the original wood finish, resulting in a more pronounced effect. It also offers excellent stain and scratch resistance, as well as colorfastness. Pigment paper, on the other hand, is significantly inferior, with significant differences between the two surfaces. Therefore, while both are paper, their quality differs. The high-quality ink paper used in Huangguoshu board is superior.

Since it is paper, it can be printed. In theory, a variety of patterns and colors can be printed. There is nothing you can't think of. Therefore, compared with other boards, eco-boards have more diverse styles and are more fashionable and beautiful.

The ecological board decorative panels made by the facing paper after multiple processing processes not only effectively solve the problem caused by uneven paint on the board surface, but also avoid some formaldehyde pollution caused by the use of paint. At the same time, it also makes the performance of the board more superior, such as corrosion resistance, scratch resistance, fire resistance and other properties.

The difference between eco-board substrates:

Although they are all ecological boards, the paper, base material, processing technology and glue used are different. This is why the prices of ecological boards vary greatly.

Density board, particle board, blockboard (core board), finger-jointed board, and multi-layer board can all be used to make ecological boards, but the physical properties and environmental protection indicators of ecological boards made of different core materials are definitely different.

(Particleboard)

(Plywood)

(Finger-jointed board)

Among them, the finger-jointed board not only has stable performance

And because of the finger-jointing process

Replace part of glue

So it is a relatively good base material

Finger-jointed boards

It can also be caused by

Made of any kind of solid wood

For example, the trees in Malacca

fir, poplar

There are other pine, paulownia

Core board of miscellaneous wood, etc.

Malacca wood: Malacca lumber is sourced from Malacca trees. Malacca wood has both domestically produced and imported cores. Imported cores are primarily produced in Indonesia, while domestic cores are primarily produced in Fujian, Hainan, and other places. It's not that the moon is bigger in foreign countries, but rather that there are fewer trees in China.

Poplar: Poplars are generally divided into southern poplar, Shandong poplar and Northeast maple poplar. Among them, Northeast maple poplar has a longer growth cycle and has experienced the test of harsh climatic conditions, so its wood is relatively dense and hard.

Chinese fir: Fragrant fir is a high-quality furniture material with a natural wood fragrance and numerous beneficial effects on the human body. The cedarwood contained in fragrant fir can kill airborne bacteria and inhibit human pathogens. It also inhibits various skin inflammations. The released cedarwood has health benefits, such as fatigue relief and stress relief. Consumers are increasingly aware of the benefits of Chinese fir.

Others

Pine, paulownia, miscellaneous wood, etc.

It is generally believed

Among them, fir is the best

Simple identification method of various materials:

1. Look at the cross-section: Pine and fir have clear growth rings, poplar has coarser fibers, and Malacca is a fast-growing species with loose wood, unclear growth rings, and slightly finer fibers than poplar.

2. Scratching the cross section with a fingernail: Malacca is the softest and leaves the clearest scratches easily; fir has moderate hardness and the scratches are not obvious; poplar has the highest density and is the hardest, and under the same force, the scratches are the slightest.
