Raw or decorative laminated boards are structurally bonded to both sides of this core, creating a high-strength, ultra-lightweight, environmentally-friendly board, like no other. Internationally, Xanita partner with the world s leading manufacturers of lightweight board fittings, laminate suppliers and local board pressing specialists, to deliver a product that meets up to the highest architectural and display specifications. Hafele is a pioneer in the field of connection fittings for frameless lightweight board and was the first company to develop connectors that allowed extremely robust, load-bearing structures to be created using this innovative material for which it has received various innovation awards. Tradesman can now use specially developed lightweight board fittings as well as the hardware that already exists to build a vast array of products for numerous market segments. Hafele is also a supplier of edging materials which can be directly applied to the frameless construction of X-Board Plus. 1

Machining:- Tooling requirements dependent

4 Machining X-Board Plus XB+ machinery processing photos compliments of: CNC Machining:- Tooling requirements dependent upon machining method used. Drilling:- using conventional tooling. Shaping:- using CNC, hand router or spindle molder. In-fill material can be inserted for postformed profiles and interior doors. Sawing:- using a beam saw, CNC or dimensional panel saw. Connecting:- using Hafele lightweight board fittings. Edge Banding:- using conventional edge banding machinery with or without pre-milling. 2

5 X-Board Plus Processing Benefits: Machining: Use conventional machinery including standard edge-banding equipment. Environmental: Paper core consists of 100% recycled, postconsumer paper waste. E-Zero MDF or VOC-free hardboard surface layers supplied as standard. Energy savings in processing, manufacture, transportation, waste removal and delivery Health: Paper core is VOC-free. Reduced airborne wood dust during machining E -Zero or VOC-free surface layers, supplied as standard. Working with lightweight panels reduces the risk of weight related injuries resulting in less employee absenteeism. Weight: Less labour needed for lifting, processing and installation. Light weight removes the need for structural material use in design. Furniture can incorporate increased thicknesses which match imported designs. Less injury related down time. Less or lighter weight hardware required to operate panels and doors. Transportation: Volume increases per delivery vehicle. Less weight means less vehicle wear & tear Installation: Quicker installation times. Less labour required. Cost Savings: Lower energy requirements Reduction in weight -related staff injuries Quicker processing times Less material required in construction Hardware reduction Reduced transportation costs Reduced installation cost Reduced costs associated with waste removal Drilling Sawing Shaping Edging Transport Install 3

Virgin Wood Fibre Savings Xanita s X-Board Plus uses up to 75% less virgin wood fibre compared to solid MDF sheet. That s because our engineered paper core is derived entirely from post-consumer, recycled paper waste.
