 Xanita announces a technological breakthrough in lightweight board manufacturing, targeting the replacement of formaldehyde-based MDF & particleboard.
Xanita's revolutionary new board manufacturing process, first pioneered in Cape Town, South Africa, makes use of old recycled cardboard boxes and sugar cane biomass waste, along with organic VOC-free adhesives.
Lightweight rigid X-Board "Print" or X-Board "Kraft" is sandwiched both sides with white (industrial inkjet receptive) or brown, kraft recycled semi-rigid engineered paper liners. These boards are designed for temporary and semi-permanent applications which allow the board to be repulped back into paper post-use, rather than being dumped as toxic landfill.
For applications requiring a tougher, long-lasting surface, traditional substrates including steel, aluminium, fibreglass, plywood, or decorative laminated E-Zero MDF or particleboard are pressed by our manufacturing partners, direct to the kraft core.
X-Board "Plus", as this board is known, can be direct edge-banded by joiners and furniture manufacturers with no extra investment in lightweight board processing equipment.
Typical applications include floating shelves, benchtops, architectural doors, operable walls, workstations, credenzas, formwork, entertainment units & more.
