The number of boards used in home decoration is relatively large. At this stage, home decoration will basically install a large number of cabinets, wardrobes, storage cabinets, wine cabinets, bookcases, etc. For these different cabinets, corresponding boards must be selected. Boards are actually divided into two categories: the first category is the panels for the cabinet body, and the second category is the panels for the cabinet doors. Since we have very high requirements for the door styles of different cabinets, many new material cabinet doors have appeared. The raw materials of cabinet doors include particle board, MDF board and plywood. The surface of the cabinet door can be pasted with melamine paper, spray paint, etc. Now, a new type of surface coating material is called PET. I don’t know if you know about it. If you are buying cabinets or wardrobes, you may encounter them. So in this article, I will give you answers about PET cabinet doors.
What are PET cabinet doors made of particle board?
PET is a new type of chemical material. Particle board cabinet doors made of PET are called PET cabinet doors. PET cabinet doors are the same as some of our other common paint boards, aluminum alloys, etc., but are a different material. Since cabinet doors are relatively environmentally friendly materials, the use of cabinets and wardrobes in our home decoration is gradually increasing. As for PET particle board cabinet doors, you can learn about them from the following three aspects.
PET particle board cabinet doors material
In fact, PET cabinet doors use PET sheets, and their base materials include MDF board, particle board and plywood. The surface application material is PET. Its main materials include polyethylene terephthalate PET and polypropylene terephthalate PbT. This kind of board is generally called a plastic board, also called a PET board, etc. PET sheets are most commonly white sheets. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is the polyester board we often hear. This material is made of two chemical materials: polyethylene terephthalate and polypropylene terephthalate, also known as polyester resin. It is one of the important engineering plastics.
Characteristics of PET particle board
The main characteristics of PET particle boards are relatively high strength, high hardness, and good insulation properties, heat resistance, etc. Another point is that it is a non-toxic and environmentally friendly building material, so it is widely used in many areas. For example, the more common anti-chemical drugs and so on. In home decoration, it is mainly used for cabinet doors and other panels.
Environmental protection of PET particleboard cabinet doors
The cabinet doors are made of PET sheets. The specific raw material is the polyethylene terephthalate mentioned above. This raw material is widely used in plastic bottles in the beverage industry, so it is very environmentally friendly. Another situation is the particle board cabinet door made of PET facing film. This kind of cabinet door does not evaporate any toxic gas during use, is green and environmentally friendly, does not fade, is resistant to aging, high temperature, etc., so it is a very suitable material to use on cabinet doors. At present, the usage rate of cabinet doors made of this new material is getting higher and higher.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of PET particle board cabinet doors?
When we choose cabinets or wardrobe doors, we must choose the cabinet doors separately. The most common PET cabinet doors on the market are particle board cabinet doors. Let’s introduce to you the advantages and disadvantages of PET particle board cabinet doors.
Advantages of PET particleboard cabinet doors
(1) PET particle board cabinet doors are one of the most environmentally friendly materials for cabinets and wardrobe door panels. Because there are no toxic or harmful volatile substances in PET, it can be said to be food-grade environmentally friendly. In fact, this is also the biggest selling point of PET cabinet doors at present, because many of our friends are concerned about environmental protection. Most of the high-end cabinet products of many well-known brands in our country will choose PET. You can go to the market to find out. In fact, this also shows that the environmental protection of PET cabinet doors is indeed very good.
(2) The second advantage of PET particle board cabinet doors is that there are many styles. In particular, cabinet doors made of PET facing film can be divided into high-gloss PET and skin-feel PET according to the brightness of the surface PET, with as many as thousands of surface colors. What we commonly see on the market are PET environmentally friendly cabinet doors. The cabinet doors are very bright in color, with almost no color difference, and are not easy to fade. It can match well with the cabinets of our cabinets. So the decoration effect is also very good.
(3) Advantages of use. When using cabinet doors, it is most important to pay attention to the corresponding environmental characteristics. For example, if used in the kitchen, the characteristics of oil and friction in the kitchen must be considered. The particle board cabinet door surface with PET decorative film is not easy to adhere to oil and is very easy to scrub. In addition, dust is not easy to adhere to the surface. Another point is that the wardrobe door is very good in terms of scratch resistance and wear resistance. The most important point is that its surface color will hardly change, will not fade, etc., and it is resistant to moisture and high temperature.
(4) The stability of PET particle board cabinet doors is very good, which also determines their long service life. Because PET doors are made of some chemical materials during the processing process, they will hardly deform during use, and one of the characteristics is that they will not collapse.
disadvantages of PET particleboard cabinet doors
(1)The first disadvantage of PET particle board cabinet doors is that they cannot be soaked in hot water. If the cabinet doors are soaked in hot water, they are prone to deformation. So you must pay attention to the area where they are used. Another point is that PET cabinet doors are not alkali-resistant. If the surface is corroded by alkaline substances for a long time, discoloration, fading and other problems will occur.
(2)There are mid-range, low-end and high-end PET particle board cabinet doors, and the quality depends on the thickness of the PET film. For example, the thickness of the PET film of high-end products can reach 0.6mm, and its color is bright, the color rendering is relatively realistic, and the visual effect is very good. The thickness of the PET film of low-end products is about 0.15mm, the service life is short, and the base color of the substrate is easy to leak out.
Summarize
The effect and quality of PET particle board cabinet doors are good. In fact, you can also pay special attention to it when you buy it. However, there are too many manufacturers in the Chinese market, and their product quality is good or bad. When we buy this kind of cabinet door, we must learn some observation methods. For example, check whether there are any flaws on the surface, how bright the surface is, and then check the scratch resistance and heat resistance of the board. You can also ask the manufacturer to send samples and use a vernier caliper to measure the thickness of the PET film paper.
