Laminated plywood: a multifunctional board with excellent performance

The advanced work of the plywood family

In the fields of modern architecture and furniture manufacturing, various types of boards play an indispensable role. Among them, laminated plywood stands out from numerous boards due to its unique advantages and has become a highly favored material choice.

Plywood, as a traditional artificial board, is constructed by interlocking multiple layers of thin wooden boards (veneers) and tightly bonding them with adhesives through hot pressing technology, creating a stable and solid structure. The interlocking method of multi-layer veneer greatly enhances the strength and stability of the board, making it have good bending and impact resistance, and widely used in many industries such as furniture, construction, and shipbuilding. However, with the continuous evolution of market demand, the limitations of plywood in terms of aesthetics, wear resistance, weather resistance, etc. have gradually emerged. Therefore, laminated plywood has emerged.

The laminating process endows plywood with a new charm

The birth of laminated plywood originated from a key process on the basis of plywood - lamination. This layer of film covering the surface of plywood is made of a variety of materials, including polyvinyl chloride (PVC), melamine paper, wood grain paper, etc. Different film materials have brought different characteristic improvements to laminated plywood.

Taking PVC film as an example, its texture is flexible and has excellent waterproof performance. When covered on the surface of plywood, it endows the board with excellent moisture resistance, effectively resisting the erosion of the internal structure of the board by humid environments and extending its service life. Melamine paper is known for its abrasion resistance, high temperature resistance, and easy cleaning properties. The surface hardness of plywood coated with melamine paper is significantly improved, and scratches during daily use are less likely to leave marks; Even when in contact with high-temperature objects, it can maintain the stability of the board structure and prevent deformation; Moreover, the smooth surface makes it difficult for stains to adhere, making cleaning and maintenance easy and convenient. The application of wood grain paper adds a natural and realistic wood grain texture to laminated plywood, making it closer to solid wood in appearance and meeting people's pursuit of natural aesthetics. It is widely used in indoor decoration, furniture manufacturing and other fields with high aesthetic requirements.
