VENEER CUM PLYWOOD CUM MDF PLANT
[CODE NO.3393]  


The term `Plywood' covers a form of laminated wood in which successive layers of veneer are ordinarily cross laminated,  the care of which may be veneer or sawn lumber in are piece  several pieces.  It  is a high pressure bonded wood product  composed  of layers of waves with resin as the laminating agent.

Plywood is a composite material, although we often consider it as a traditional working material. It is composed of individual plies / veneers of wood. It is very strong due to the way the plies are put together. The grain of each ply is positioned at ninety degrees to the pieces of ply above and below it. The plies are glued together with synthetic resin, making a very strong composite material. Furthermore, plywood is usually constructed so that an odd number of plies are used. Plywood is less likely to warp or split, due to this construction.

Manmade boards of this type are supplied in a range of sizes and thicknesses. This is an advantage compared to natural woods, as manmade boards can be manufactured so that they are extremely wide. This makes plywood a popular material in the construction industry.
