CEMENT
BONDED PARTICLE BOARD
The ‘Cement bonded particle board’
is made with cement 62%, wood particles/fibres 28% and water with chemicals
10%. These are cast in mechanized metallic moulds and, manual molding is not
feasible. The thicknesses of the boards available are 6mm, 8mm, 10mm, 12mm,
16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 40mm and 50mm. The overall sizes available are 2.44m x
1.22m and 3.05m x 1.22m.
These boards are strong, durable and
incombustible. The boards are termite proof and moisture resistant. These are
workable with hand tools. Kitchen platform structure, Partitions, ceiling and
paneling are normal applications. Cupboard and tables can also be made, but since
the boards are brittle, shifting this furniture is very difficult. These boards
can be painted, laminated or veneered.
