TigerBoard panels are designed for roof and wall sheathing in residential and commercial wood-frame construction.

TigerBoard is an oriented structural straw board (OSSB), engineered for strength and made from agricultural waste wheat straw with formaldehyde-free (MDI) resin binders.

TigerBoard will have an Exposure 1 bond durability classification, and be Structural-1 rated. It will be available in 4’ x 8’ panels and manufactured to 7/16” thickness with a 24/16 span rating.

The panels will be manufactured in conformance with the PS 2-04 structural standard, in addition to panel durability tests prescribed in AC307, ICC-ES Acceptance Criteria for OSSB. TigerBoard will be certified by TECO, a qualified third-party inspection and testing agency, recognized by the model building codes.

TigerBoard will provide:

• an opportunity to expand product lines with an innovative green building product that offers improved performance and value over its wood-based counterparts
• an opportunity to support sustainable building industry practices and gain market share in the increasingly growing green building market

TigerBoard will provide your builders with a product that has the structural integrity and functionality of similarly rated plywood and OSB, with improved performance and value:

• Its engineering and the natural attributes of wheat straw make TigerBoard stronger yet lighter, with improved dimensional stability, and more water-,  fire-, rot- and termite-resistant than wood-based alternatives.
• TigerBoard panels are designed for strength:
• Wheat straw fibers are split longitudinally to allow for an even distribution of binders on all strand surfaces, while maintaining fiber length for a high strength-to-stiffness ratio.
• Layers of fibers are oriented to increase bending stiffness.
• Fibers of wood used to produce plywood and OSB have comparable tensile strength to wheat straw fibers. However, individual wheat straw fibers, when blended with MDI and subjected to heat and pressure, inter-weave (unlike wood strands), producing a stronger panel than wood-based counterparts.
• Additionally, TigerBoard will be manufactured with enhancements for faster and safer installation:
  • Two-way nail lines for easier and faster installation
  • Textured for safety
    
• TigerBoard will be edge sealed for additional moisture protection.
• TigerBoard will be comparable to wood-based alternatives in terms of cost, field performance and usability.

TigerBoard will help your builders differentiate themselves by responding to the consumer demand for sustainable building materials and practices:

• TigerBoard is a tree-free and sustainable building material that conserves our natural resources, poses no off-gassing risks (i.e. helps protect indoor air quality), and provides a solution to an agricultural waste disposal problem.
  
• TigerBoard will help builders meet criteria for residential green building programs, given that it is a rapidly renewable and formaldehyde-free material.

TigerBoard will be backed by a 50-year warranty.
