WOOD-BASED PANELS SPECIFICATIONS


Prepared by:
Hannah Ledda B. Ferrer

WOOD-BASED PANELS

used as walls, floors, and ceiling for agricultural structures as


well as for machine structural purposes.

WOODBASED
PANELS
Classification of
wood based
panels

Adhesive bonded

Adhesives can effectively transfer and


distribute stresses, thereby increasing
the strength and stiffness of the
composite.

Cement bonded

It is used for thermal and acoustic


insulation purposes and consisted of
wood particles of different sizes.

Adhesiv
e
bonded

Plywood and plyboard

Plywood and plyboard

Plywood

assembled product made of layers of veneers and/or lumber core held


together by an adhesive, the chief characteristics of which is the alternate
cross layers, distributing the longitudinal wood strength.

Plyboard

plywood made up of face/back veneer, crossboard core veneer and well


composed kiln dried lumber core

Plywood
Classification

Class 1 (dry conditions)

This bonding class is appropriate for veneer plywood


intended for use in normal interior climates.

Plywood
Classification

Class 2 (humid conditions)

This bonding class is appropriate for veneer plywood


intended for protected external applications (e.g.
behind cladding or under roof coverings), but capable
of resisting weather exposure for short periods (e.g.
when exposed during construction). It is also suitable
for interior situations where the service moisture
condition is higher than the class 1 level.

Plywood
Classification

Class 3 (exterior conditions)

This bonding class is designed for veneer plywood intended for exposure to
weather over sustained periods.

Grading of plywood and its allowable


defects

Grades of plywood shall be determined by the defects inherent in wood,


and by manufacturing defects visible on finished panels, it shall be in
accordance with PNS 196.

Quality

Quality of plywood shall comply with PNS 196.

Packing and marking

The plywood shall be packed or crated to provide


suitable protection from the elements.

Each plywood shall be marked by edge branding.


Stamp marking on the face or bark shall be
acceptable for panels thinner than 5mm. The
mark whether on edge, on the face or on the
back shall contain the following:

Fiberboard (high density)

Fiberboard (high density)

panel made of consolidated ligno-cellulosic fibers with the


primary bond derived from their inherent adhesive properties
and/or the addition of resin or other materials

Fiberboard (high density)


Types

Standard fiberboard

A high density fiberboard without subsequent treatment generally intended


for interior use.

Fiberboard (high density)


Types

Tempered fiberboard

A high density fiberboard that has been specially treated with drying oil,
petroleum derivatives or other compounds stabilized by baking or heating,
and generally intended for the use where moisture resistance is required.

Fiberboard (high density)


Classification

Plain

A hardboard without any factory-applied finish.

Fiberboard (high density)


Classification

Smooth-one-side (S1S)

High density fiberboard with a smooth surface on one side and a screen
impression on the other side.

Fiberboard (high density)


Classification

Smooth-two-sides (S2S)

High density fiberboard with smooth surfaces on both sides.

Fiberboard (high density)


Classification

Decorative

Hardboard which has a pattern impressed on one


surface, e.g. simulating some other materials such as
leather, sawali, wood grain, bark, diamond, fine weave,
and others.

Fiberboard (high density)


Classification

Perforated

Usually S1S hardboard with holes punched or


drilled at the factory for use with various fixtures to
provide decorative wall-mounted storage facilities
or which may be used for acoustic purposes.

Fiber cement flat sheets

Fiber-cement flat sheets

consist essentially of an inorganic hydraulic binder or a calcium


silicate binder formed by the chemical reaction of a siliceous
material and a calcareous material reinforced by organic fibers
and/or inorganic synthetic fibers

Fiber-cement flat sheets


Classification

Type A

Type A sheets are intended for external applications where they may be
subjected to the direct action of sun and rain. They may be supplied coated
or uncoated. These sheets are further classified into three categories
according to their modulus of rupture (Table 8).

Fiber-cement flat sheets


Classification

Type B

Type B sheets are intended for internal and external applications where they
will not be subjected to the direct action of sun and rain. These sheets are
further classified into five categories according to their modulus of rupture
(Table 8).

Fibercement flat
sheets

Dimensions

Nominal length and width

Flat fiber-cement sheets are normally available in nominal lengths of 3,000


mm and nominal widths of up to 1,250 mm. Sheets of greater nominal
lengths and widths may be supplied.

Thickness

Flat fiber-cement sheets are normally available in thickness from 3 mm to 30


mm, although thickness outside this range may be supplied.

Mechanical and physical


properties

Modulus of rupture

The modulus of rupture of sheets shall be as specified in Table 8.

Apparent density

The manufacturer shall specify in his literature the minimum apparent


density for each category of sheet and shall not be less than this value when
tested in accordance with the method specified in section for the test for
apparent density in ISO 8336.
