Course description
In Wood-Based Composites and Panel Products , you'll learn ...
- Advantages and uses of wood-based composites

Overview
Credit: 3 PDH
Length: 49 pages
Wood properties vary greatly among species, between trees of the same species, and between pieces from the same tree. Because of this variation, solid wood cannot match reconstituted wood in the range of properties that can be controlled in processing.
This course is intended to provide the student with an understanding of the different types of wood-based composites and panel products and the processing considerations for these products.
