Chipboard
Chipboard - boards that are made by hot pressing wood particles with the addition of resins.
Chipboard, which is made by hot pressing wood particles with the addition of resins. The use of resins is necessary as a binder, the composition of the resins used may be different, but these substances are always harmless to humans and the environment. The density of the obtained plates depends on the thickness, but most often it is 660-750 kg/m3.
The main advantage of this material over ordinary wood is the absence of knots, cracks, voids and other defects. The boards are easy to process (sawing, planing, milling, etc.), while they have high strength and rigidity. According to experts, chipboard surpasses natural wood in some physical and mechanical properties. For example, the material swells less from moisture, is less susceptible to combustion processes, has excellent heat and sound insulation properties and affordable cost.
It is rational to buy chipboard in Kostroma for the production of furniture, where they serve as upholstered furniture cases, as well as countertops, furniture for office, home and summer cottages. In construction, the use of the material is also extensive: interior decoration, doors, window sills, ceilings.
Chipboard is lined with paper-based films, and then impregnated with formaldehyde resins.
Lamination of the material is carried out under special conditions (temperature 120-140 degrees Celsius and pressure 25-28 MPa), the resin is squeezed out of the paper film and spreads over the entire surface of the plate, after which polymeric processes begin to occur. The result is the hardening of the resin, and the properties of the film are similar to those of a heat-resistant plastic. As a result of such manipulations, the upper layer of the material receives a high degree of protection against mechanical and chemical influences. This material will be used to make large cabinet furniture, countertops that surround us. Of course, the cost of such material will be more expensive, but this is justified, because chipboard acquires new performance characteristics, as well as a huge variety in colors.
