It makes a denser product than standard particle boards but lighter than three-layer particle boards, which is likely to have higher levels of resin.

Three-layer particle board is essentially a standard particle board core, where the size of the particles and the density at which they are pressed and glued is the same, with a graded density moving to the edges. This design forms three layers, two with a denser product about a quarter of the depth on each side and less dense core making up around half of the total thickness. Although the product is described as three layers the three merge into a single mass, where the difference can be seen visually at the sides.

Standard particle board was originally made in late 19th century Germany, then produced commercially around the Second World War. The earlier board products were often made using blood albumin glue, whilst later commercial products used phenolic resins, amino formaldehyde-, urea formaldehyde-, or urea melamine-based, today there are also particle boardproducts that use glues with lesser environmental impacts. Three-layer particle boards were introduced some time later as a method to reduce the volumes of glue and wood used, whilst retaining most of the same characteristics of a denser board.

All particle boards comprise of a small chips and flakes of softwood of varying sizes and density that are impregnated with adhesive (usually amino formaldehyde-, urea formaldehyde-, or urea melamine-based) and subjected to high temperature(up to 220°C) and pressure (2-4MP).

Normal hand or machine tools can be used for working with three-layer particleboard, it usually take screws similar to denser grades.
