RESTRAINING FACTORS

Hazardous Chemical Release During The Process Leads To Decline In The Market

The expansion of the global appearance boards market is significantly constrained by a number of adverse aspects. Appearance board is weaker than real wood since it can't withstand tremendous tension. Stress causes it to fracture or crack. Due to their extensive installation requirements, appearance boards have a lower density than real wood. The nails should be driven in at close intervals to prevent the board from bowing in the center. When appearance boards are made, formaldehyde is used, and when they are cut, a hazardous chemical is released. These chemical harms the lungs and irritates the eyes when breathed. Future market growth is anticipated to be constrained by such unfavorable consequences.
