SYNTHETIC BOARDS

SYNTHETIC BOARDS
• Synthetic wood, also called  Engineered wood, mass timber, composite wood, man-
made wood, or manufactured board, includes a range of derivative wood products which
are manufactured by binding or fixing the strands, particles, fibres, or veneers or boards of
wood, together with adhesives, or other methods of fixation to form composite material.
• Composite board is a wood engineered with both plastic content and wood fiber ,metal e.t.c
that has been extruded and heated.
• A substance consisting of minimum of two material, at least one material serve as a solid
reinforcement and the second is binding material(matrix).
• Various processes and methods have been developed,most of them in recent years in
buildings which also helps in utilizing waste wood and wood of inferior species.
SOME COMMON TYPES OF SYNTHETIC BOARD
• Ply wood
• Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF)
• Particle Board
• Wood plastic composite(WPC)
• Oriented Strand Board (OSB)
• Laminated veneer
• Fiberboard 
• Core board
• Block boards
• Foam board
• Wafer board
• Hard board
SOME COMMON TYPES OF SYNTHETIC BOARD
• Ply wood- is a material manufactured from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are glued
together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to one another.
• Medium-Density Fiberboard (MDF)- This engineered wood is made from a variety of materials,
including recycled or mashed wood fibers, wax and resin. Its high-pressure and high-heat
treatments paired with its wax content make it dense and durable.
• Particle Board- This type of composite board is also called chipboard and is made from
sawdust, wood chips or shavings from a sawmill. It comes in a variety of densities with the
strength of the board increasing as the density increases. Particle board can also be created to
resist moisture, fire and other elements.

Ply wood MDF PARTICLE BOARD


• Oriented Strand Board (OSB)- This engineered wood is made from trees that grow
rapidly, such as mixed hardwoods and aspen poplar mixed with MDI-coated wood chips.
• Laminated veneer-This engineered wood comes from veneer that is bonded using
pressure and heat. It's also cross-laminated to enhance the stiffness of the engineered
wood, which makes it a strong, durable material.
• Fiberboard - is a type of engineered wood product that is made out of wood fibers.
Types of fiberboard (in order of increasing density) include particle board or low-
density fiberboard (LDF), medium-density fiberboard (MDF), and hardboard (high-
density fiberboard, HDF).
• Core board- A type of plywood in which softwood strips are bonded together and
sandwiched between to layers of veneer.
• Block boards-core boards having fiber board, clip board, or hollow materials as cores are
used extensively these days.
• Foam board-it has reinforced polyurethane foam construction that is reinforced with fiber
glass, creating a board that’s just as strong as plywood, but also offers extra protection
against mildew , mold, and rotting.
• Wafer board- uses large flakes, called wafers, that are bonded together into final panel
• Hard board- (compressed fiberboard) for a panel manufactured primarily from inter felted
lingo cellulosic fibers and consolidated under heat and pressure in a hot press, other
materials such as resin may be added during manufacture to improve certain board
properties.
Ply wood
• Ply wood- is a material manufactured from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are
glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to 90 degrees to
one another. Panel comprised of at least 3 layers of bonded wood.

Manufacturing process
Types of plywoods
• Interior plywood- interior plywood is used for construction that is carried out inside a house.
These plywood are not meant for external use, as they cannot stand excess moisture.
• Exterior plywood- the exterior plywood is glued together with a gluing material that can
withstand moisture. Thus, it is used for constructions carried out outdoors or areas of little
moisture.
• Structural plywood- these are extra strong plywoods that are glued together with an adhesive
that holds the layers firmly. The structural plywood can be used for internal and external
purposes. These are basically not meant to be seen and are mostly hidden behind other
constructions.
• Marine plywood- the marine plywood is fabricated with a superior glue that is bonded tightly
and resistant to water . It is the strongest, toughest and highest grade plywood.
ADVANTAGES-
• High uniform strength
• Availability of relatively large sizes
• Economical and effective utilization of figured wood
• Freedom from shrinking, swelling and wraping
• Ease of fabrication of curved surfaces
• The conservation of timber by elimination of the waste which occurs in
sawing (eg- saw dust)
• Non-splitting qualities solid wood splits fairly readily along the grain.
DIS ADVANTAGES-
• The layering effect in plywood makes it porous and susceptible to water
damage if exposed over time.
• Plywood becomes heavy when wet and should be covered if left outside to
reduce the risk of water damage.
• Plywood has lots of splinters on the edge after cutting
• Edges of the board are unattractive and cant be covered
• Not suitable for many joints
• Still may contain natural defects such as knots due to the sheet of veneer.
APPLICATIONS-
• Plywood is often used to create curved surfaces because it can easily
bends.it has been used for marine applications since WWII
• Floors, walls and roofs in house construction
• Wind bracing panels
• Fencing
• External cladding
• Desk and table tops
• Cabinet interior and exterior
• Wall panelling
WOOD PLASTIC COMPOSITE (WPC)
WPC BENEFITS-
• Recyclable , can be reg rounded and
reused after their service life
• Made from recycled materials like
wood dust, recycled plastics
• Contains no toxic chemicals or
additives
Benefits of WPC
WPC facts-
• Composite materials of wood waste and recycled thermoplastics.
• No additional wood resources depleted
• Wood content upto 70%
• Used just like wood but has best features of wood and
plastics
• Aesthetic appeal.

Benefits of Composite Board
• Composite board comes with several advantages. Here are some composite board benefits you can leverage:
• Easy Installation. This man-made material is specifically designed to meet performance requirements for a
variety of applications, including offering the ability to bend. These characteristics aid in simplifying
installation.
• Cost Effective. Due to the manufacturing procedure, durability and availability, composite board is
frequently a more cost-effective material to use for exterior home products than solid wood.
• With composite board material, you can choose the color or texture you prefer thanks to the wide selection of
available treatments and sizes.
• Composite board offers long-lasting protection and strength. It's useful as a trim or an entire product, such as
exterior shutters. Some composite boards, such as particle board, can also be engineered to withstand outdoor
elements and resist moisture.
• Structural Resilience. With composite board's robust material, you can rely on this engineered wood's
ability to hold its structure over time.
• Composite boards, such as MDF, can be made of recycled material using fewer trees than solid wood
material. This makes it ideal for incorporating in sustainable design
