Panneau de particules

Le panneau de particules (PBC), disponible chez Columbia Forest Products, est composé de particules de bois liées entre elles par de l'urée-formaldéhyde à très faible taux d'émission ou, sur commande spéciale, par du PBC NAF lié au pMDI avec du soja ou du PVA. PureBond .

PBC is the least expensive core option for hardwood plywood, offering a smooth, void-free surface for veneer faces. PBC is very uniform in thickness and density. It is one of the heaviest core options for hardwood plywood construction, weighing as much as 100 lbs per 3/4″ panel. PBC has the least amount of structural (spanning) strength compared to the other core options and is subject to the greatest amount of expansion if exposed to moisture.

Particleboard core is a preferred core for fixture and low-end furniture applications including Ready-To-Assemble furniture. It is also used in selected kitchen cabinet components.
