TYPES OF BLOCKBOARD
ON THE BASIS OF USAGE:
• 1. Interior Grade:
Suitable for indoor use, such as for furniture used inside the
home or for doors. These types are also called MR grade
(Moisture Resistant) blockboard.
• 2. Exterior Grade:
• This type of blockboard is suitable for outdoor use and it also
known as BWP or BWR grade blockboard. BWP stands for
Boiling Water Proof and BWR stands for Boiling Water
Resistant.
TYPES OF BLOCKBOARD
ON THE BASIS OF THE MATERIAL OF THE CORE:
• Softwood:
The core blocks are almost always made from softwood obtained
from softwood trees (e.g. Pine wood is very popular in India).
• Hardwood:
While softwood core is the most common, some manufacturers do
manufacture blockboards that have a core made from hardwood
strips as well as hardwood veneers on the outside. Such types of
boards are denser, heavier, stronger and also generally costlier.
USES AND APPLICATIONS
• Unlike plywood which has a tendency
to sag in the middle, blockboard is
stiffer and is less prone to bending for
making long book shelves.
COMPANIES
• Century Ply - Manufactures block boards in both the MR and
BWP grades.
• Kitply - its block boards are branded as Kitboard, Kitboard
Gold, and Swastik Commercial MR Grade.
• Greenply - Makes blockboards in both internal and external
grades.
TYPES OF PARTICLE BOARD
• Laminated Particle Board: Laminated particle board is
manufactured by attaching a thin layer of laminates on the surface
of plain particle board.
• Veneered Particle Board: Veneers are a very thin slice of wood
which is obtained from a tree log. Veneered particle board is
manufactured by attaching veneer on the top surface of the plain
particle board.
TYPES OF PARTICLE BOARDS:
• Cement Bonded Particle Board: As
the name implies, this board
uses cement as a bonding agent and has high resistant to
moisture, fire and rot. Due to cement content, these
boards are more durable, fire-resistant and termite
resistant.
• Chup washer- The chips are then washed and checked for defects.
Chips may be stored in bulk, as a reserve for manufacturing.
• Fibre production
• Sheet forming
