Under the organolite is understood a sheet material,which is produced by the technology of hot pressing of wood fibers. They are made from various woodworking wastes, such as sawdust, shavings, chips. Also in the composition of this material are special astringent additives that significantly improve the physical and mechanical properties of the wood-fiber board.
The surface of the fiberboard is rough.Such plates are called still unregulated. They are usually used in rough finishes. Laminated hardboard is a fiberboard, at least one side of which is covered with a special protective layer. Such an orgalith is called ennobled. On the front side of such material can also be applied a decorative pattern.
The laminate has the following advantages:
- Durability. The service life of the material exceeds 20 years.
- Resistance to mechanical influences.This material is not so easy to break. Of course, everything depends on the thickness of the material. In addition, the quality laminate coating is resistant to various scratches.
- Fire resistance. The presence of various modifying additives provides a poor ignition of the material.
- Moisture resistance. This indicator is very important. It means that the laminated coating can be cleaned by wet cleaning. This greatly simplifies the care for him.
