About particle board and similar board of wood or other ligneous materials

cpc code 3143 covers the production of particle board and similar engineered wood products. These materials are widely used in the furniture, construction, and packaging industries, making them a crucial component of modern manufacturing. Particle board and its variants offer cost-effective and versatile alternatives to solid wood, contributing to the efficiency and sustainability of various supply chains.

Production process

The production of particle board involves breaking down wood or other lignocellulosic materials into small particles or fibers, which are then combined with resin binders and pressed into flat panels. This process allows for the efficient utilization of wood waste and byproducts, creating a durable and customizable material. Advanced techniques, such as the use of specialized machinery and precise control of temperature and pressure, ensure the consistent quality and performance of the final product.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the particle board industry include wood chips, sawdust, and other wood waste from forestry and wood processing operations. Additionally, synthetic resins, such as urea-formaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde, are used as binders to hold the wood particles together. Specialized machinery, including chippers, dryers, and presses, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

Particle board and similar engineered wood products manufactured under cpc code 3143 are widely used in the production of 3311 Furniture and 4213 Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood. These materials are also consumed by the 4215 Wooden containers industry for packaging applications. The versatility and cost-effectiveness of particle board make it a popular choice across various sectors, contributing to the efficiency and sustainability of the broader economy.
