What is PD CEN/TS 16368 - Specifications for lightweight particleboards about?
PD CEN/TS 16368 specifies the requirements for uncoated particleboards for use in dry conditions in non load-bearing applications with density below 600 kg/m3. PD CEN/TS 16368 applies to particleboard which is mostly homogenous and continuous in its composition and which does not contain hollow spaces, chambers or other type of cavities which can be encountered as honeycombs in sandwich panels or as tubes in extruded boards. Note: PD CEN/TS 16368 does not give requirements for extruded particleboards (see EN 14755), flaxboards (see EN 15197) and sandwich panels.
Who is PD CEN/TS 16368 - Specifications for lightweight particleboards for?
PD CEN/TS 16368 on lightweight particleboards is useful for:
- Lightweight particleboards manufacturers
- Product designers
- Quality control department
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 16368 - Specifications for lightweight particleboards?
Lightweight particleboard are manufactured under pressure and heat from particles of wood (wood flakes, chips, shavings, sawdust and similar) and/or other lignocellulosic material in particle form (flax shives, hemp shives, bagasse fragments and similar) with the addition of an adhesive.
PD CEN/TS 16368 provides requirements that are required to be followed while production of lightweight particle board. This will ensure that your product complies with the regulatory standards and quality is maintained throughout the production.
