Description
(THIS IS A PAGE IN PROGRESS)
Ecoboard is a brand name for a solid construction boad made from cellulose fibers derived from straw. Ecoboard is manufactured for 100% wheat straw and does not emit any of the organics acids found in other MDF boards. The formaldehyde-free board is produced from a water-based slurry with an formaldehyde-free (P-MDI) adhesive. The strawboard has strength comparable to other MDF boards.
