Xanita South Africa - X-Board
Print (XBP)
Xanita South Africa X Board offers
designers and manufacturers a VOC-Free alteX-Board "Print" is a versatile, lightweight boardrnative to MDF, particle
board and petrochemical-based foamed-core boards, typically used for
building short-term displays and structures of all types.
X-Board's unique high-crush strength paper core is manufactured from
post-consumer recycled paper and sugar cane waste. Sandwiched between
top and bottom layers of semi-rigid printable paper optimised for
industrial flatbed UV inkjet printers, X-Board is best disposed of in
paper-recycling bins after use.
Panels can be UV inkjet printed directly or decorative laminates can be
applied over the board. They can be mitre-cut, folded or curved, shape
cut , canvas or fabric-wrapped, photo-mounted and fastened together
with velcro, hot-melt adhesive or magnetic strips, generating an
endless array of design possibilities.
For production runs, X-Board is best cut using a CNC router or flatbed
digital cutting table with oscillating knife. For simple
straight-cutting for low volume hobby, DIY or set-building use, a heavy
duty Stanley-type knife, panel saw, jigsaw or vertical foam trimmer may
be used.
If one needs to hide the boards exposed kraft edges, X-Board can be
double-mitre cut and folded back on itself, or one can easily apply a
PVC C-channel edging with hot-melt glue gun which can be removed before
recycling the board after its useful life.
