X-Board, by Xanita, is an incredibly versatile, environmentally-friendly, alternative to MDF, particle board and chemical, foamed-core boards. A new generation, high strength-to-weight ratio, repulpable fibre board, it's unique core is manufactured from 100% post-consumer paper waste and organic-based VOC-free adhesives which together, generate incredible crush -resistance and overall board stiffness. Sandwiched between two layers of semi-rigid recycled white paper, X-Board can be disposed of in paper recycling bins, making it arguably the world's most environmentally-friendly board. www.xanita.com [More] [Less]
