Johns Manville’s new StabilStrand is a specially-developed glassfibre nonwoven for engineered wood.
It can be used for reinforcing particle boards, MDF/HDF and plywood, providing excellent performance for lightweight furniture construction as well as digital and direct printing.
Such composite materials have a significantly higher flexural strength and E-modulus compared to conventional materials with identical weight. Particle boards, for example, can be two-to-three kilogrammes per square metre lighter and still meet the requirements of the P2 regulatory standard for them.
