Although plywood, particleboard and solid wood are all wood products, each has its own weight to volume, due to the inherent binding adhesive and the quality of the wood. … In comparison, particleboard is the heaviest within the same species and grade of wood.
What is the density of particle board?
Medium-density particleboard is within a density range of 0.59–0.8 g/cm3 and has received more research effort to improve its strength. The strength of particleboard depends on the fibers of wheat straw and also on the adhesive bonds between them.
Why is particle board so heavy?
Particle board quality depends on the size of the particles that make it up, the glue that holds it together, and the density of the board. Because particle board can be made out of a lot of wood waste, its quality can vary quite a bit. Smaller particles make the board better quality, denser, and heavier.
