Particle board
Particle board
Particleboard, or chipboard, is today the most used wood products in furniture. It is an engineered material made out of woodchips bound together with resins into panels at high temperature and pressure. Particleboard products are known for problematic offgassing of formaldehyde gas. However the sustainability profile of particleboard has improved in the past two decades, thanks to stricter regulation. Since recently formaldehyde-free particleboard is also available.
