Product Introduction
Welcome to the next generation of engineered wood products. Our Tubular Core Particle Board, also known as Tubular Chipboard or Hollow Core Particle Board, represents a paradigm shift in material science. Produced using a specialized extrusion press system, this board features a unique construction of parallel tubular voids running through its core, much like the engineering principles found in bridge construction .
This innovative design is not merely about being hollow; it is about intelligent material placement. By removing non-essential material and creating a series of uniform tubes, we achieve a product that is dramatically lighter than traditional particleboard or MDF, yet retains the rigidity and screw-holding capability required for demanding applications.
Composed of 89-90% softwood and 1-2% hardwood—all sourced as residual waste from local sawmills—our Tubular Core Particle Board champions the circular economy . Whether you are a door manufacturer seeking to reduce shipping weights or a furniture designer looking for a stable, warp-resistant substrate, this board delivers performance where it counts.
Product Features
Our Tubular Core Particle Board is engineered for excellence, offering a range of features that make it the preferred choice for industry professionals:
- Extruded Tubular Structure: Manufactured via the extrusion process, creating precise, uniform tubular cavities that maximize strength while minimizing weight .
- Multi-Layer Construction: Many variants feature a 3-layer structure with dense outer facings and an engineered tubular core, providing enhanced rigidity and a smooth surface ready for lamination or painting .
- High Screw Holding Power: The dense outer layers and the vertical ribs between the tubes provide excellent fastener retention, essential for secure door hardware and furniture joinery.
- Pre-Finished Surface Options: Available with factory-applied finished surfaces, eliminating the need for additional sanding or coating and reducing installation time by up to 40% .
- Low Formaldehyde Emissions: Compliant with stringent global standards, including CARB Phase 2, E0 (≤0.05 ppm), and E1 classifications, ensuring healthy indoor air quality .
- Moisture-Resistant Variants: For applications in more humid environments, advanced models offer enhanced or premium moisture resistance, outperforming standard particleboards
Product Structure
The magic of Tubular Core Particle Board lies within its ingenious architecture. Unlike homogeneous panels, this board features a distinct sandwich-like construction designed for optimal performance:
- Dense, Smooth Surface Layers: The top and bottom faces are composed of fine wood particles compressed under high pressure to form a hard, durable, and flat shell. This layer provides the perfect substrate for veneers, laminates, or direct painting, and contributes significantly to the board's screw-holding capacity.
- The Tubular Core Matrix: The interior is the heart of the innovation. Instead of a solid fill, this section features a series of parallel, hollow tubes running longitudinally through the board.
- Internal Ribbing (Vertical Webs): The solid material between the tubular cavities acts as vertical reinforcement. These ribs provide the panel with its high compression strength and impact resistance, ensuring the board can bear significant loads without collapsing.
Product Applications
he versatility of Tubular Core Particle Board makes it a go-to material across multiple industries. Here is how professionals are leveraging its unique properties:
- Interior Door Cores: The industry-standard core material for flush doors, molded doors, and panel doors. Its lightweight nature reduces the weight of the finished door, easing installation and reducing stress on hinges .
- Fire Door Assemblies: When combined with fire-resistant facings, the stable tubular core provides an excellent base for fire-rated door construction.
- Acoustic Doors: The sound-dampening properties of the tubular structure make it ideal for doors in hotels, offices, and recording studios .
- Demountable Wall Systems: Perfect for office partitions and room dividers where lightweight, reconfigurable walls are required.
- Decorative Cladding: Used as a stable backing panel for wall finishes in commercial and residential interiors.
- Ready-to-Assemble (RTA) Furniture: Ideal for flat-pack wardrobes, bookcases, and cabinets where shipping weight is a critical cost factor .
- Casegood Components: Serves as a warp-resistant core for large cabinet doors and shelving.
- Point of Purchase (POP) Displays: Lightweight and easy to fabricate, it is perfect for temporary promotional stands and retail shelving that may need frequent repositioning.
- Exhibition Stands: Easy to cut, shape, and finish for custom booth designs.
- Partition Wall Infill: Used as a filling material for hollow partition walls to add stability and a degree of soundproofing.
