Laminated particle boards are particle boards that are laminated either one side or both sides of the surface. Particle board is a composite material made by mixing sawdust with a synthetic resin or other adhesives. In some cases, it is also made with wood chips or sawmill shavings instead of sawdust. Bangalore is one of the most important places where you find laminated particle board in India.
Particleboard was primarily developed as a low-cost substitute for plywood, which in turn was invented as a replacement for natural wood. Laminated Particle board in Bangalore, also known as chipboard is cheaper and denser than plywood. Graded-particleboards are now produced which have high strength and resistance, and thereby giving design flexibility for engineers and end users.
One of the main disadvantages of particleboard was considered to be its appearance. This led to the invention of laminated particle board. Decorative laminate design papers are attached to the sides of the particleboard by hot pressing resins over the surface. Plain particleboard as a result of this process gets a better aesthetic value and surfaces with various designs and colour shades. In India, brown and white colour shades are popular with customers along with designs that duplicate the look of wood. Synthetic resin-impregnated laminate papers make the particleboard warp resistant and it does not swell or contract like natural wood, as also makes it moisture resistant and increases its resistance to brittleness and cracks.
Laminated particle board in Bangalore and also most parts of the world are categorized into two types, One Sided Laminated board (OSL) and Both Sided Laminated board (BSL). Though it is one sided, there will still be a neutral coloured sheet pasted on the other side to prevent warpage. In case of two sided laminate boards, both sides are pasted with the required design sheets, and these can be used for both interior and exterior applications in homes and offices. BSL is costlier than one sided laminate boards.
Particle board is a waste-wood product and hence results in product solutions which are markedly cheaper than plywood and other alternatives. Particleboard played a key role in the revolution of furniture design in 1950s. In India, furniture made with laminated particle boards are now the most popular of all. They are also used in making kitchen cabinets, wall panels, and false ceilings and for various other applications. Laminated particle board in Bangaloreis eco-friendly and also looks much cleaner than plywood.
