OSB

Ousong Board Product Introduction

Oriented strand board (OSB), commonly referred to as “Ousong board,” is a type of engineered wood panel made from wood strands that are dried, bonded with adhesive, laid out in a specific orientation, and hot-pressed. The surface layer of wood shavings is typically arranged parallel to the length of the panel, while the core layers are arranged in a crisscross pattern, forming a multi-layered structure with a specific orientation. It is commonly used as a base layer for interior finishing, in furniture manufacturing, and in structural components for timber-frame construction.

Product Features

• Compact structure: The oriented strand board (OSB) structure provides the panels with a certain degree of load-bearing and bending resistance; specific performance depends on the product grade, thickness, and direction of the applied force.

• Easy to process: It can be sawed, drilled, and fastened with screws, making it suitable for a variety of substrates and furniture-making needs.

• Distinctive Texture: The surface retains the texture of wood shavings and can be used for decorative purposes as needed in the design.

• A wide variety of sizes: Products of different thicknesses, dimensions, and performance grades can be selected based on the application and design requirements.

• Highly adaptable: Can be used in conjunction with wooden furring strips, connectors, and finishing materials to meet various structural requirements.
  
  

Main Applications

Selection Guidelines

OSB is not the same as waterproof panels, nor does it necessarily mean low formaldehyde content. When purchasing, verify the product’s intended use, performance grade, thickness, and formaldehyde emission test data. In humid environments, select products of the appropriate grade and ensure proper moisture protection and edge sealing. When used in load-bearing structures, materials must be selected and installed according to design requirements; ordinary decorative panels cannot be used as direct substitutes.
