Particleboard is made by bonding wood chips and wood particles into panels.
If you find wood particles in the bit or if the hole cannot be probed with a wire further than its depth, you have found a stud.
Particleboard or chipboard is manufactured by mixing wood particles or flakes together with a resin and forming the mix into a sheet.
They are extruded cylinders of graded wood particles compounded with high strength resins and square center holes.
Wood/natural fiber polymer composites are materials made by combining wood particles or other fibrous materials with polymeric resin and additives to improve performance.
Chipboard requires glue to stick the wood particles together.
Most wood floors can be covered with underlayment consisting of quarter-inch-thick plywood or hardboard (paneling made from processed wood particles).
Drill about an inch into the wall; if the drill meets continual resistance and produces wood particles, it has entered a stud.
Made of a composite of man-made materials and natural wood particles, faux wood is also a less expensive choice than natural wood.
Although O'Leary could not attest to such a board's strength, he did speculate that "it might have a nicer odor and color than wood particle."
