- Jacwud OSB Boards (OSB- Oriented Stranded Boards) are engineered wood panels where rectangular wood stands are arranged in cross oriented layers and binded together with PF resin and wax.
- Jacwud OSB Veneer laminated board is laminated with hardwood veneer on both sides.
- Jacwud OSB designer board is without veneer lamination and can be used for decorative purposes as well.
-
The Benefits
- Jacwud OSB boards are eco friendly and engineered for strength, flexibility and durability.
- Structural performance, size variation and board consistency of Jacwud OSB are comparable to plywood.
- Cost of production for Jacwud OSB is more competitive, making it more affordable.
- Jacwud OSB is an ideal alternative wood panel choice to conventional plywood.
- Jacwud OSB offers much higher strength than Particle Board (PB) and MDF because it is made up of long flat hardwood strands.
- Jacwud OSB can be used for both interior and exterior applications, it is made up of HARDWOOD strands and are highly resistant moisture.
- Screw holding capacity is much better than MDF or particle board.
- Internal bonding performance is 0.78 N.mm2 which is comparatively much higher than particle board, Pink MDF etc.
- HPL/Veneer can be laminated directly on the Jacwud OSB if required.
- Formaldehyde emission is 10% only where as it is more than 50% for Pink MDF etc...
- Moisture content in Jacwud OSB is 5.8 % only.
- Compound walls

Construction
Strength, stiffness and durability makes Jacwud OSB, the ideal wood panel for construction projects. Its use is approved by major building codes around the world.
-
Wall Sheathing (Partitin walls, and external walls)
Provides excellent strength and racking performance under all types of exterior cladding.
-
Roof Sheathing (Decking panel for fixing shingles/Tiles)
Uniformly sound and extra rigid.
-
Load Bearing In Construction
High mechanical properties and orientation of the strands within panels result in enhanced strength and stiffnes
-
Subfloors (base floor for tiling/carpet/wood floor etc)
Provides a strong, rigid, and impact-resistant platform for underlayment, carpet or tiles.
-
Concrete Formwork/Concrete Moulding
Jacwud OSB is recognized as an alternative budget option to conventional plywood due to its considerable bending strength and building construction application.
-
Industrial Packaging
Jacwud OSB is very suitable for industrial packaging because of its strength, rigidity, durability and moist
-
Interior Furnishing
OSB is popularly used for making household furniture.
-
Wall Sheathing (Partitin walls, and external walls)

Manufacturing Process
- Log Sorting : Logs hurled to the mill and sorted
- Debarking : The barks (skin) is removed, which will be used for fuel
- Chipping : Logs chipped to certain sizes
- Stranding : Chips will be flaked into precise dimensions of up to 4 inches long
- Wet bins : Strands are deposited in to wet bins
- Drying : Strands are dried to a uniform moisture level of 3%
- Screening : Strands are sorted in to Core layer and surface layer, fine particles/dust is removed
- Blending /Gluing : Blends with Resin and WAX to enhance the bonding and increases the moisture resistance
- Forming Line : Strands go through forming line where CROSS directional layers are formed
- Pressing : Layers are pressed under high temperature and pressure to form the panels
- Cooling/Sizing and stacking : Panels are cooled, cut to sizes and packed for shipping
Raw materials for Jacwud OSB are sourced from logs under the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) standards, fast growing trees and recycled tree parts such as unused branches, bark and wood strands from timber mills. Entire logs are used in the manufacturing process to ensure no part is wasted. Any wood waste will be repurposed, used as fuel or sold as a co-product. The binding agent used is a type of low-emitting resin which is environmentally safe.
The construction industry sees an extensive use of wood panels. Thanks to lower manufacturing costs and superior qualities, Jacwud OSB (OSB) are simply better choices as building material, promising huge savings and performance.
