| Do not use solvents on hardboard or particleboard panels, as it may damage the surface. |
| Vinyl floors are typically laid over particleboard underlayment, which absorbs water like a sponge and then swells up. |
| But even after that, the plywood or particleboard under the veneer will continue to off-gas for several more years. |
| A relative of okra and cotton that towers 12 to 15 feet, kenaf is grown primarily as a fiber source for low-grade paper, particleboard, and oil absorbents. |
| Much of today's furniture is made with a thin wood veneer over a core of particleboard, and this material also will rapidly absorb water. |
| For experiments to make and test guayule-composite particleboard, Nakayama sent air-dried guayule bagasse to colleague at Madison, Wisconsin. |
