Chipboard is an engineered panel product in which particles of wood are bonded together to form a panel. It is most commonly formed using a synthetic resin adhesive. Chipboard is most commonly made from softwood chips though hardwoods are sometimes used. The chips are dried and mixed with an adhesive that is appropriate to the product’s end-use. The chips are formed into a mat and are then pressed between heated platens to compress and cure the panel. The finished panels are then sanded and cut to size.
