The particle board is a three-layer wood-based material with a sand-papered surface, made by pressing wood particles at a high temperature and under pressure, using urea-formaldehyde resin as a binding agent. The laminating process consists in pressing a decorative film onto the board with its simultaneous surface structuring.

Owing to their properties as well as to the wide range of decors and surface structures, the melamine resin-coated boards are the basic material for the manufacture of furniture and interior decoration elements.
