|---|---|---|
| Plant & Machinery | Made with one of the highest automated plant specially designed and custom-made for manufacturing filler grade particle boards. | Made in plant designed for making furniture grade particle boards, not filler grade boards. The properties required for a good quality filler particle board are different from furniture grade boards. |
| Binding Glue | Our boards are made using MODIFIED UF RESIN which does not lose its bonding strength after re-heating for up to 30 minutes as most door-making processes involve re-heating. | Most other particle boards are made using UF Resin which sustains re-heating for only 2-3 minutes, heavily affecting bonding strength. |
| Surface | The surface of our filler grade particle boards absorbs excess steam at the glue line during heating on both sides to avoid air pockets, even at high temperatures for fast production. | The surface of boards made in furniture-grade plants is non-porous and cannot absorb steam at the required speed, causing air pockets on door surfaces. Fast production at high temperatures may not be possible. |
| MOQ & Thickness Range | Minimum Order Quantity for 8’x6’ size is 70 boards and for all other sizes, 140 boards. MOQ for 35mm to 55mm is 49 boards for size 8’x6’ and for other sizes, 98 boards. | Most manufacturers have large MOQs and few can supply higher thicknesses like 55mm. |
| Example of MOQ | Example: We can supply a truck of filler grade boards including 140 boards of 21mm, 140 boards of 29mm, 100 boards of 35mm, 100 boards of 34mm, and 100 boards of 44mm. | Most manufacturers will not deliver small quantities of many thicknesses. |
| Reliability | We manufacture filler grade boards exclusively and can supply all required boards year-round, even during high demand. Urgent odd thickness orders are fulfilled quickly. | Filler grade boards are made during spare time when furniture-grade demand is low. Supply may be delayed or stopped when furniture market demand rises. |
| Dimensional Stability & Density Distribution | Density distribution across surface and core layers is almost equal, ensuring high dimensional stability. | Density distribution varies greatly, with surface layers having up to 50% more density than core, resulting in lower dimensional stability. |
| Basic Raw Material | Our boards use 80% pine wood and 20% other softwoods, maintaining consistent wood composition throughout the year for standard quality. | Many boards use a mix of cheapest wood species, which changes seasonally, leading to non-standard boards. |
Made with one of the highest automated plant SPECIALLY DISGNED AND CUSTOM MADE FOR MANUFACTURING FILLER GRADE PARTICLE BOARDS .
Made in plant deisgned for making furniture grade Particle Boards & not Filler grade Particle Boards . The properties required for a good quality filler Particle Boards is different from furniture grade Particle Boards.
Our Boards are made using MODIFIED UF RESIN which does not loose its bonding strength after re-heating for up to 30 minutes as most door making processes involve re-heating of the Board.
Most other Particle Boards available in the market are made using UF Resin which can only sustain re-heating for 2 to 3 minutes after which the bonding strength of the resin is heavily affected.
The surface of our Filler Grade Particle Boards is made to absorb excess stem generated at the glue line (During heating process) on both sides of the Boards at a very fast rate to avoid air pockets even when the doors are made at very high temperature for fast production.
The surface of boards made in plants for making furniture grade Particle Boards is non porus and will not absorb steam from the glue line at the required speed which will result in formation of Pockets on Door Surface. Fast production at high temperature may not be possible using these Boards.
We can supply small quantities like 140 boards of a particular thickness included in a combination of 5 different thicknesses to add up to truck load quantity of 17 tonnes. We can include as low as 100 boards for higher thickness from 32mm to 54mm.
Explaining the above point with an example: We can supply a truck of Filler Grade Particle Boards including 140 Boadrs of 21mm , 140 Boards of 29mm, 100 Boards of 32mm, 100 Boards of 34mm & 100 Boards of 44mm.
Most manufacturers have very large quantities of MOQs for any particular thickness & there is hardly any plant in India which can supply higher thicknesses like 54mm.
Most manufacturers will not deliver such small quantities of so many different thicknesses.
We manufacture Filler Grade Particle Boards only and not furniture grade ones. Therefore we will be able to provide all your required boards on time round the year, no matter what the season is and what ever the demand in the market is. We can supply any urgent requirement of odd thickness in just one day.
Filler grade Particle Boards are made during the spare time which the manufacturing units have from making furniture grade boards. When ever there is demand in furniture maket, the units will either delay or stop your supply.
The density distribution across the surface layers and core layers are almost equal with the surface layer having less than 20% more density then the core layer. This results in final finished doors with very high dimentional stability.
The density distribution across the surface layers and core layers has a very high difference with the surface layer having up to 50% more density then the core layer. This results in final finished doors with lower dimentional stability .
