All Masisa boards comply with the E-1 - low formaldehyde emissions.
Reconstituted wood boards have appeared as an alternative to sawn wood, the use of which has become restricted since the middle of the last century due to forest depletion or environmental concerns. Wood from from rapid growth trees such as pine or eucalyptus in plantations, and waste from other wood processing, is used in the manufacture of Masisa boards, based on sustainable resources and technologies.
| Wood boards can be classified according to their end use: some boards serving structural purposes (OSB, plywood), and a family of boards for internal use, furniture and finishes in buildings of all types (MDF and agglomerates). Masisa has specialized in the family of MDF boards for furniture and decoration, offering a wide range of basic products and with decorative applications of melamine and veneers that allow for uses in all types of furniture and finishes for the home, office, and commercial applications. Three years ago Masisa started making structural boards, producing and marketing OSB boards that are mainly used in construction for roof coverings, lateral walls and flooring.
