Decorated Particleboard

Laminex decorated particleboard is made by impregnating decorative paper with melamine resin and bonding it under heat and pressure to both sides of a particleboard substrate. This EPD covers particleboard products manufactured at Laminex plants located in Monkland, Queensland and Dardanup, Western Australia, and decorated with Laminex® and Formica® low pressure melamine panels at Monkland, Queensland; Dardanup, Western Australia; and Ballarat, Victoria.

Decorated particleboard is a cost-effective solution for structural work such as cabinetry carcasses, doors and panels, and furniture. The product is cut to size, finished with edging and assembled into a final design. The large format range is suitable for taller cabinetry, and retail and office fitouts such as workstations and office furniture.
