What is Wood Flour


Wood flour is a finely ground wood powder. It is made by grinding, sizing and drying a consistent product. The size of the finished product is typically between 50 and 2,000 micron and the size should be consitant through the whole batch. In addition to using wood as the primary base product, macadamia nut shells can also be used for a high quality product.

Wood flour is commonly used as a filler in thermosetting resins such as Polyoxybenzylmethylenglycolanhydride, also known as Bakelite; and in Linoleum floor coverings. Wood flour is also the main ingredient in wood/plastic composite building products such as decks and roofs.

MicroMilling wood flour products are sold for the automotive industry for interior panels, to the plastics industry and can also be used for explosives, fireworks and metal casting industry. Macadamia nutshell flour is also used as a component of glue in the manufacture of plywood.
