Particle board is an engineered wood product made by compressing wood particles such as
sawdust, wood chips,
and shavings with synthetic resin under high pressure and heat. The result is a flat, uniform
panel with a smooth
surface that can be laminated, veneered, or coated for decorative use.

It is widely used in furniture manufacturing, interior decoration, cabinetry, shelving,
partitions, and low-cost
construction applications. Particle board is commonly chosen for its affordability,
uniformity, and ease of
processing compared to solid wood.

However, it has lower strength and moisture resistance than plywood or MDF, making it
more suitable for indoor
and dry environments. Despite this, particle board remains a popular material in mass-
produced furniture and
budget-friendly interior solutions due to its cost efficiency and versatility.
