What is Flakeboard?
Flakeboard is a type of engineered wood product that is made by compressing wood flakes or chips into a panel using heat and pressure. It is also sometimes referred to as particleboard or chipboard.
To make flakeboard, wood flakes are first formed by shredding wood into small pieces or by using a wood debarker to remove the outer layers of a log. The wood flakes are then mixed with a resin binder, such as urea-formaldehyde or phenol-formaldehyde, and compressed under high pressure and heat.
The resulting panel is uniform in density and thickness, and is typically used in a variety of applications, including furniture, cabinetry, flooring, and construction. Flakeboard can be manufactured to meet specific strength and durability requirements, depending on the intended use of the product.
One advantage of flakeboard is that it is a cost-effective alternative to solid wood, since it can be made from smaller or lower-quality pieces of wood that might not be suitable for other applications. It is also more consistent in quality than natural wood, since it is produced in a controlled environment. 
However, flakeboard is typically less durable than solid wood and can be prone to chipping or cracking if not properly protected. It is also more susceptible to moisture damage than other types of engineered wood products, such as medium-density fiberboard (MDF) or plywood.
