[edit] Acoustic Exchange

I am so happy to know Urea (hydroxycarbamide) is an ingredient in Manufacturing Particle Board. For very certain reasons I expect the PH in Particle Board should be a great deal higher for home acoustic design constructions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.169.252.11 (talk • contribs) 01:45, 3 December 2006

[edit] Weight

Is it heavier than normal wood?--Energman 19:49, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

A qualified "Yes", mostly due to the addition of glue and due to the compression applied to sheets in their manufacturing. Particleboard tends to be denser than the natural wood that was originally used to make the particles of which it is made. —Quicksilver^{T @} 17:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Particle board vs. particleboard

It seems that companies in the business of making this stuff more commonly refer to it as "particleboard", not "particle board". I think this article should be moved to "Particleboard", and "Particle board" should become the redirect link. —Quicksilver^{T @} 17:52, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
