We thought we would show the difference between the OSB and the Godzilla Extrusion Board.

OSB BOARD

GODZILLA BOARD

The difference is stark, but the Godzilla board is 100x more dense, stronger, waterproof, and superior in every way.

THE NEXT GENERATION OF SIP PANELS, OUT WITH THE WEAK IN WITH THE STRONG.

Next-generation SIP panel with everything a wall, floor, or roof should have, including strength (the SIP panel’s structural component is finally here).

Here’s a detailed look at why the construction industry should prioritise our new (patent-pending) Godzilla Board above all else.

Godzilla board is ideal because it is waterproof, extremely sturdy, and will never rot; termites and other small pests avoid it. Our first notion was to build rail sleepers out of it, but we decided to broaden our scope and provide this product to housing, offices, extensions, all manufacturers of timber frames, park homes, and even excellent sheds. It is the ideal answer to the NET ZERO MARKET AND TINY HOMES. And we are the only ones who have it.

Manufacturing hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin involves mixing wood particles with a polyurethane resin mixture and then compressing the mixture into a board shape.

The wood particles are first treated with a hydrophobic (water-repelling) preservative solution, which helps to protect the wood from water damage and decay.

The preservative also helps to make the wood particles more resistant to moisture, which can cause swelling and warping over time. Next, the treated wood particles are combined with a polyurethane resin mixture.

Polyurethane is a strong and durable plastic that is often used in construction materials.

The resin mixture is typically composed of polyols (long-chain organic molecules) and isocyanates (chemical compounds derived from hydrocarbon sources, making this a true super board for many construction uses.

The combination of the hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and the polyurethane resin creates a strong and durable material that is resistant to moisture, rot, and insects.

The resin also helps to bind the wood particles together, increasing their structural strength. Compared to other types of boards, those made from hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin are much stronger because the wood particles are treated with preservatives that help prevent water damage and decay.

In addition, the use of a strong and durable plastic resin like polyurethane also adds to the overall strength and durability of the material. This makes these boards the most sought-after choice for outdoor structures and construction projects where strength and durability are essential.

The new building board on the block is hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board).

Cement board, wood birch plywood, and OSB3-4 are all common building materials with a variety of applications.

However, as technology improves, a new product, the Godzilla Board, has hit the market that outperforms these old materials in terms of durability and strength.

Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a revolutionary material made of hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin.

This combination produces a product that is not only extremely durable but also insect and termite resistant.

Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are often employed in roofing applications. Cement boards have long been used as a roofing material due to their strength and fire resistance. Rhino Board, on the other hand, has several notable advantages over cement boards and OSB3/4.

For starters, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are substantially lighter in weight than cement boards, making installation easier and faster. This is especially useful in large-scale roofing projects where time and personnel are limited.

Furthermore, due of its excellent thermal insulation properties, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is an energy-efficient roofing material. The polyurethane resin used in its production has a low thermal conductivity, which means it can efficiently reduce heat transfer while maintaining the interior temperature of the structure. This not only saves energy but also makes the building more comfortable to live in.

Another significant advantage of hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is its pest and termite resistance. Traditional wood-based materials are prone to insect and termite infestation, which can jeopardise a building’s structural integrity. Rhino Board, on the other hand, is preservative-treated to prevent pests and termites, ensuring long-term durability.

Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are also ideal materials to produce structurally insulated panels (SIPs). SIPs are high-performance building panels composed of an insulating foam core sandwiched between two structural faces. When hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are used as the facing material for SIPs, a strong, long-lasting panel that is good at keeping heat in is made.

In terms of sustainability, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are environmentally advantageous products. The use of hydrophobic preservatives minimises the need for toxic chemicals, making it safe for both people and the environment.

Finally, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a new product on the market that has various advantages over traditional materials such as cement board, wood birch plywood, and OSB 3-4. Its hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin make it an exceptionally durable waterproof, bug-proof, and termite-proof material ideal for roofing, SIP fabrication, and other interior uses. With its multiple benefits, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a game changer in the construction industry, set to transform the way we think about building materials.

The reasons behind the hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is twofold. First, the term SIP panel stands for Structural Insulated Panel, and the structural element is a point of controversy.

Reasons why we believe OSB is not the best board for SIP Panel building

It is not moisture-proof; OSB should be kept dry and does not perform well when wet for a lengthy period of time. Weaker throughout the breadth: When compared to a regular plywood board, OSB has less stiffness across the panel. Unprotected OSB edges are easily damaged, especially during transit and installation.

Next, In general, hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) offer various advantages over wood birch plywood.

Among these benefits are:

1. Water resistance: Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) are meant to be very water-resistant. This implies they are less prone to absorb water or be damaged by moisture exposure. In contrast, normal wood birch plywood has not been treated for water resistance and is more prone to water damage.

2. Durability: The combination of preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin produces a highly durable material that can endure wear and tear, impact, and other forms of physical damage better than wood birch plywood. This makes it a better alternative for projects requiring a high level of toughness and resilience, such as outdoor furniture or building materials.

3. Rot and decay resistance: The preservative treatment applied to the wood particles in hydrophobic boards also helps to protect them against rot and decay caused by fungi and other bacteria. This makes the boards a better choice for usage in damp or humid locations, where wood birch plywood may decay over time.

4. Dimensional stability: When compared to wood birch plywood, hydrophobic boards are less likely to shrink, warp, or swell owing to temperature or humidity fluctuations. This greater dimensional stability makes the boards easier to deal with and less likely to break or split over time.

5. Environmentally friendly: Hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles are often created from sustainably sourced wood; our boards are FSC certified; and the preservative used to treat them is non-toxic and environmentally friendly. This makes hydrophobic boards a more environmentally friendly choice than standard wood birch plywood or OSB, which may be treated with chemicals that are damaging to the environment.

Overall, a hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particle and polyurethane resin board provides an exceptional variety of benefits, making it the preferred choice over wood birch plywood, OSB, in 90% of applications. These boards have increased water resistance, durability, rot resistance, dimensional stability, and environmental friendliness, making them a versatile and dependable material for a variety of projects and applications.

Our boards are expensive, but we can assure you that they are the best, will last the test of time and are worth the investment.

This hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particle and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is a type of composite material that is specially designed to have enhanced water resistance and durability. It is made up of several chemical components, each playing a crucial role in the overall properties and performance of the board. Below is a detailed explanation of the chemical composition of this board:

1. Wood particles:

The main component of this board is wood particles, also known as wood chips or shavings. These are small pieces of wood that are obtained from various tree species, such as pine, fir, cedar, or spruce. all our timber is from renewable forest supply, and we have FSC certification. Wood particles are a renewable resource and are widely used in the manufacturing of wood-based composite materials. They provide the board with its structural strength and natural wood appearance.

2. Preservatives:

To enhance the longevity of the board, it is treated with preservatives to protect it from decay, fungi, and insects. The commonly used preservatives for wood include copper-based compounds, such as ACQ (alkaline copper quat) and CA (copper azole), and borate compounds. These preservatives penetrate deep into the wood particles and provide long-lasting protection against biological threats.

3. Hydrophobic agent:

A hydrophobic agent is added to the wood particles during the manufacturing process to make the board water-resistant. This agent forms a layer around the wood particles, repelling water and preventing it from entering the board. The hydrophobic agent also increases the strength and stability of the board, making it less prone to warping or swelling when exposed to moisture.

4. Polyurethane resin:

The key ingredient in this board is polyurethane resin, which acts as a binder to hold the wood particles together. Polyols, a type of alcohol, and diisocyanates, a type of chemical compound, react to form this particular type of polymer. Polyurethane resins have excellent adhesion to wood and provide a strong bond between the wood particles, resulting in a durable and stable board.

5. Catalysts:

Catalysts are added to the polyurethane resin to accelerate the curing process. These chemicals initiate the chemical reaction between the polyols and diisocyanates, causing them to harden and form a strong bond. Catalysts are also responsible for controlling the rate of curing, ensuring that the polyurethane resin cures evenly.

6. Surfactants:

Surfactants, also known as surface-active agents, are added to the polyurethane resin to reduce surface tension and improve the flow of the resin into the wood particles. They also aid in the dispersion and adhesion of the resin, resulting in a more uniform and homogenous board.

7. Fillers:

Fillers, such as calcium carbonate and talc, are added to the resin to improve the mechanical strength and stiffness of the board. They also help to reduce the overall cost of the board as they are cheaper than the resin.

8. Colourants:

Colourants, such as pigments and dyes, are added to the resin to give the board a desired colour or to enhance its natural wood appearance. They also provide UV protection, preventing the board from fading or discolouring.

Overall, the combination of these chemicals and resins results in a hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) that is strong, durable, and resistant to water, decay, and pests. It is a versatile material that can be used for various applications, such as decking, fencing, sip panels, and structural boarding for housing.

People ask me, why I am against OSB in general for sip panel manufacturing or external use, because it’s not fit for purpose, only for pocket. If you want a board that is fit for purpose, then our new 2024 hydrophobic preservative-treated wood particles and polyurethane resin board (Godzilla Board) is perfect.
