What are the characteristics of eco-friendly boards and particleboard, and which is better?

With the rapid development of science and technology, people have more choices when decorating, making the selection of boards crucial. There are many types of boards used in daily life, such as eco-boards and particleboards, which are frequently used. Today, we'll discuss the characteristics of eco-boards and particleboards, and which is better. Let's take a look.

1. Particleboard

Particleboard, also known as solid wood particleboard, is made by crushing natural wood into particles, then using techniques such as gluing and high-pressure bonding. Its cross-section can be seen as three layers, with the middle layer containing the largest particles and the outer layers containing relatively smaller particles. Furthermore, the particles in the middle layer have a certain directionality, playing a crucial role in the board's stability. Particleboard does not have the disadvantages of natural wood, is not easily deformed, and has very stable physical properties, making it very popular.

2. Characteristics of Particleboard

Solid wood particleboard is made from logs, which are then cut into chips according to specifications by a chipper. It not only has the structure of natural wood, but also has an expansion rate of only about 9% when soaked in water. Its internal structure is granular, and it has a very strong nail-holding ability, making it highly practical.

3. Ecological board

Ecological board is the melamine panel we often see. Different colored or striped papers are soaked in an ecological board resin adhesive solution, then dried, and after reaching the required temperature, they are heat-cured. The paper is then laid on particleboard, moisture-proof board, or other hard fiberboard, and hot-pressed to form a decorative panel.

4. Characteristics of Eco-board

Ecological boards have properties such as high temperature resistance, fire resistance, and moisture resistance. They also solve problems that other boards cannot overcome, such as easy delamination, bubbling, and high formaldehyde content. Ecological boards also come in a wide variety of colors and styles. They are a new type of environmentally friendly material with a relatively moderate price, making them suitable for making indoor furniture or decorations.
