OSB Manufacturing, 1996 Plastic Laminates Symposium Proceedings
OSB (Oriented strand board) is an engineered wood composite product. The objective of this paper is to provide an introduction to OSB with emphasis on the manufacturing process. The primary steps in manufacturing OSB are debarking, flaking, drying, blending, forming, pressing, and finishing. This information serves as a base for related presentations to follow concerning the use of OSB as a core for LPL.
