May 7, 2010—Uniboard, a North American leader of manufactured engineered wood products, has launched the NU Green 2 NAUF particleboard product line. The new panels are made with a cost-effective resin that makes them more economical, while still meeting the industry’s most stringent environmental standards, says the company.
Uniboard’s new resin keeps manufacturing costs at a minimum while still maintaining formaldehyde emissions in accordance with CARB (California Air Resources Board) Phase 2 emissions standards. The company expects NU Green 2 NAUF particleboard will be well received by the industry, as builders and manufacturers are under increasing economic strain due to the premium cost of using the environmentally friendly products required by changing regulations. The company will immediately begin production of the new panels, which will be available in M-2 grade, at its Val-d’Or site in Northern Quebec, Canada.
Like all Uniboard products, NU Green 2 NAUF particleboard is made using 100 percent pre-consumer recycled or recovered wood fiber, which saves trees and avoids landfill. The panels are FSC certified (Forest Stewardship Council), and EPP certified (Environmentally Preferable Product by the Composite Panel Association).
Uniboard is a leading supplier of thermofused melamine panels in North America. For more information see the Web site.
