VIRGO Block Boards are produced from high quality seasoned timber that reflects the unique combination of strength as well as smooth surface finishing. Every timber used is seasoned under controlled temperature and humidity to get uniform moisture as per IS:1141-1993.

Timber used is fully sterilized to make it resistant to wood destroying organisms. Carefully selected Indian and imported veneers are compressed to make the best quality warp-fee Block Board. Each VIRGO Black Board can be easily painted or polished. Strict quality controls are carried out at each level of production to ensure corrugation and unevenness free black boards. These are easy to laminate and are more durable compared to ordinary black boards.

Grades

Grade 1 - Exterior Grade BWP Block Board BWP block board are bonded with superior quality phenol formaldehyde synthetic resin conforming to IS: 848-1974.

Grade 2 - Interior Grade Block Boards (Commercial or MR grade block boards) are bonded with good quality melamine urea formaldehyde resin conforming to IS: 848-1974.

Fabrication

Screws and nails may be used to attach bloackboard and laminboard but one has to ensure that you make contact with the strips of softwood and not the gaps between the softwood strips. The edges of both blockboard and laminboard are unattractive and cannot be cleaned up well. Blockboard and laminboard may be bought with a variety of applied finishes such as wood venners and plastic laminate surfaces. If both sides are treated in the same way blockboard and laminboard have a good resistance to warping.

Usage

Blockboard may be used to make shelves, doors, paneling and partitions. When using blockboard to such things as doors or tables, it is important to ensure that the core runs lengthways in order to achieve maximum strength. Blockboard is not suitable for outdoor use as the glue used for bonding is interior grade.
