Product description This Environmental Product Declaration refers to the production of 1m³ particle board. A particle board is a wood based panel that consists of 3 layers: Two surface layers with a fine structure and in between a core layer which has a coarse structure. The particleboard is manufactured from wood particles that are bonded together by the use of a thermoharding glue. The wood particles and the glue are mixed together with additives (e.g.hardeners) and compressed at high pressure and temperature into a wooden panel. 2.2 Application Particle board is used as a base material in the furniture industry (e.g. for kitchen, bathroom furniture).
