Oriented Strand Board (OSB) stands as an engineered wood panel crafted from small wood strands or flakes. These components are arranged in layers and bonded together using resin or adhesive, employing high pressure and heat in the manufacturing process.
The primary grades of OSB include Oriented Strand Board/1, Oriented Strand Board/2, Oriented Strand Board/3, and Oriented Strand Board/4. Oriented Strand Board/1 denotes an engineered wood panel created from wood strands bonded via resins. This versatile material finds application in construction for building purposes and in crafting boards for interior fitments. It serves various industries including construction, furniture, flooring, packaging, and more, distributed through both online and offline channels to cater to residential and non-residential end users.
