PLYWOOD MATERIAL IN FURNITURE

Plywood wood is widely applied from construction projects to furniture production. Used for products requiring high load-bearing capacity such as floors, partitions, table surfaces... Additionally, boards are also used as molds for pouring construction materials. Besides that, with the sturdiness of plywood, it is also used to build boats and vessels.

The structure of Plywood is usually divided into three components:

• Core (or center): consists of many thin wood veneer layers with thickness of about 1mm.
• Surface: is the natural wood layer.
• Adhesive: the types of glue commonly used for plywood are Urea Formaldehyde (UF) glue and Phenol Formaldehyde (PF) glue.

Raw materials for plywood production are usually various types of wood, including common woods such as pine, poplar, basswood, eucalyptus, acacia, etc. Based on different core wood components, Plywood boards are also divided into many different corresponding types.

Plywood production includes 4 main stages:

• Hot pressing process: After each core board layer is run around the glue roll on the board surface. Core board layers are laid evenly layer by layer, without overlapping. Put on the press plate under temperature: 100°C. Time from 15-20 minutes depending on the glue component to time the glue bonding (called glue curing time).
• Core board surface treatment process: After hot pressing is completed, we proceed to sand the board surface. Sandpaper here we can use roll sandpaper, drum sandpaper: 240, or 280. Sand 02-03 times to create a flat surface of the board.
• Surface veneer lamination process: When sanding treatment is completed, proceed to apply 01 even glue layer on the pressed core board surface. Then cover the veneer layer and proceed with hot pressing and time the glue curing.
• Pressed board finishing process: After sanding treatment, we proceed with final finishing sanding 02-03 times depending on the purpose of use, and edge cutting finishing.

Thanks to the solid core component structure and hydraulic pressing technology, Plywood has good load-bearing capacity and high durability. Additionally, the waterproof adhesive helps Plywood be durable in humid environments. Furthermore, plywood also has good screw-holding and adhesion capabilities. At the same time, the cost of plywood is much more reasonable compared to rare natural woods. As well as the elegant beauty that easily fits with modern interior spaces, it is very popular today, especially for young families.
