INTRODUCTI
ON:
Wood-wool board Is a wood based
panel material made from chemically
impregnated wood fibre and an
inorganic binder such as portland
cement or magnesium oxychloride.
Rugged,
durable
boards
that
withstand
tough environmental
conditions - indoors and outdoors,
Wood Wool Boards are one of the
most versatile thermo- acoustical
building
materials
for
modern
constructions.
They
are
natural
breathing
products, very popular in the most
advanced
countries
of
North

IS : 3308-1981

Common Shapes employed (Company:

BAUX, UK):

RECOMMENDED SIZES:
Length 20cm to 50cm.
Thickness 0.1mm to
0.2mm.
PROCESS:
After impregnation with
mineralizing chemicals, it is
immersed in freshly prepared
BINDER SLURRY and is
immediately pressed in form
of board.
The board gets full strength
after 2 to 4 weeks after being
cast. However, sufficient
molding strength is achieved
in 16 to 24 hours.

FACTORS NOTED as per

Indian standards:
Sound Absorption
Bulk Density
Thermal Conductivity
Strength
Water Resistant
Resistance to Termite & Fungi
Fire Resistance

Standard size of woodwool

board are (Indian
standards):
Length 2000 mm
Width 500 mm
Thickness : 12. 20. 25. 40.
50. 75 and 100 mm
But the board of following
sizes is also very popular in
the market and has therefore
been adopted in the standard
Length 1220 mm (4ft.)
Width 610 mm (2ft.)
Thickness : 12. 20. 25. 40.
50. 75 and 100 mm
Boards of bigger sizes and
corrugated in shape are also
offered by certain
manufacturers on requirement.

TYPES OF WOOD WOOL (Indian

standards):
a) Type 1 Light Weight SlabsThese slabs are intended
primarily
for non-load bearing partitions,
ceilings, wall linings, permanent
shuttering and roof insulation.
b) Type 2 Heavy Duty SlabsThese slabs are intended for
load
bearing situations and for use in
roof construction. These are also
suitable for purposes indicated in
Type 1 slabs.

General Applications:
INDOOR USE:
Thermo-acoustical
ceilings.
Paneling.
Partitioning.
Flooring.
OUTDOOR USE:
Permanent shuttering
(left centering, shoring,
formwork).
Roofing & Walling.

*Quality depends on the

MANUFACTURE & their
research and
development.
