Plywood

As an important member of the manufactured board family, plywood is widely used in construction, furniture, packaging, and other fields due to its unique structure and excellent performance, becoming an indispensable material in modern industry and daily life. The following analyzes plywood products from multiple dimensions.  

High Strength: The cross-laminated structure of multiple veneer layers significantly enhances the bending and tensile strength of plywood. Compared with solid wood boards of the same thickness, plywood can withstand greater pressure and tension, performing excellently in applications such as construction formwork and load-bearing furniture components. For example, construction-grade plywood formwork can withstand lateral pressure and construction loads during concrete pouring, ensuring construction safety and quality.  

Good Stability: The fiber direction of adjacent veneer layers is perpendicular, effectively overcoming the anisotropic shortcomings of wood and greatly reducing the risk of cracking and warping caused by changes in humidity and temperature, ensuring excellent dimensional stability. For instance, in humid southern regions, furniture made from plywood is less prone to deformation and has a long service life.  

Easy to Process: Plywood has a uniform texture and can be cut, drilled, sanded, and carved like solid wood. It is less likely to chip or crack during processing, meeting various complex design and craftsmanship requirements. Whether making uniquely shaped furniture or carrying out architectural decoration, it can handle the task with ease.  

Good Laminating Performance: The surface is flat, making it easy to bond with other materials such as wood veneer, melamine-impregnated paper, or metal sheets. Through laminating, the decorative and functional properties of plywood can be further enhanced. For example, applying a fireproof board can give it fire-resistant properties, meeting the requirements for public space decoration.  

The common standard size is 1220×2440mm, which is highly versatile and can meet the needs of most construction, furniture, and packaging industries. In addition, other sizes such as 1000×2000mm are also available on the market, and some manufacturers can customize non-standard sizes according to special customer requirements.

Application Areas(1) Construction FieldStructural Materials: In building structures, plywood can be used as walls, roofs, floors, and other structural components. It works in conjunction with other construction materials to bear the weight of the building and external loads. Due to its high strength and stability, it ensures the safety of the building structure.Formwork Material: Concrete formwork is an important application of plywood in construction. The smooth surface of plywood formwork can make the concrete surface even and clean, reducing later grinding work. At the same time, it can be reused multiple times, reducing construction costs, making it an indispensable material in building construction.Interior Decoration: Plywood can be used for interior wall and ceiling decoration. It can be painted with latex paint, wallpapered, or designed for specific shapes. It can also be used to make door and window moldings, baseboards, and other decorative lines, enhancing the overall aesthetic and texture of interior decoration.(2) Furniture FieldCabinet Making: Wardrobes, cabinets, bookshelves, and other cabinet structures are often made of plywood. Its strength is sufficient to support the structure, and through veneering, painting, and other finishing processes, a variety of appearances can be achieved to meet different consumer aesthetic needs.Furniture Components: Panels, sideboards, and backboards of furniture such as tables, chairs, and beds are also often made of plywood. For example, dining table tops made from plywood, after surface treatment, are both attractive and durable. Bed side panels made from plywood can reduce the weight of the bed while ensuring structural stability.(3) Packaging FieldPackaging Boxes: Plywood packaging boxes are strong and durable, effectively protecting internal products from collisions and compression damage during transportation and storage. They are widely used for packaging electronics, electrical appliances, machinery, ceramics, glass products, and other items.Pallets: Plywood pallets have strong load-bearing capacity and are not easily deformed. Compared to solid wood pallets, they do not require fumigation and can be directly used in export trade, greatly improving logistics efficiency and reducing logistics costs. They are widely used in the logistics and transportation industry.(4) Transportation FieldAutomotive Interiors: Automotive interior parts such as door panels, seat backs, and roof linings often use plywood. After molding and surface decoration, plywood not only meets automotive interior design requirements but also offers advantages such as light weight, high strength, and sound insulation, enhancing passenger comfort.Shipbuilding: Plywood plays an important role in ship interior structures and decoration, such as cabin partitions, ceilings, furniture, etc. Its good water resistance allows it to adapt to humid ship environments while reducing the vessel's weight and improving fuel efficiency.
