Specification Film Faced Plywood

- The veneer we use is peeled from acacia and eucalyptus logs with 8-14 years plantation forest.To get more news about film faced plywood, you can visit boosterplywood.com official website.
The quality of the film faced plywood greatly depends on the quality and characteristics of the raw materials made it; therefore, before being put into production, veneers have to be checked and classified carefully to 100% A grade( which is full sheet of veneer, without knot, hole or ensure torn).

- Each veneer is very thin with thickness of 1.7mm to 2mm, and the standard moisture content for manufacturing must be below 20%.

- The standard veneer sheets will be thinly staggered at both ends. This process is considered as one of the difference of our factory, so that when stacking the veneers together, the stacked part is not too thick.

2. GLUE SPREADING
- The veneer is spread by glue rolling machine one by one so that the glue is evenly adhered on both sides of the veneer.
- Besides core veneer, glue is also a decisive factor in making the plywood structure bond together strongly. The type of glue our factory use contains 18% melamine, which helps our film faced plywood sheets can resistance under water boiled up to 12 hours and be re-used 12 times.

3.VENEER LAY-UP
- Layering is very important, it can be considered as an art, because if the veneers are not properly arranged, the finished plywood becomes weak, easily warped and broken.

- Skilled workers alternately put the glued layers and the dry layer, 1 layer vertically then the next layer horizontally in a long conveyor, to increase the elasticity and texture of the product. At the same time, each vertical layer will be attached with plastic staplers to fix the core veneers.
4. COLD PRESS
- Cold pressing for a period of 4-8 hours will help to shape the panels temporarily.
5. REPAIRING THE SURFACE
- After cold pressing, workers will use expertise techniques turn over the board, remove the excess wood at the edges and veneer overlap on the surface.
6. FIRST TIME OF HOT-PRESS
- Our factory is using hot press machine of the latest technology, with 6 cylinders for high capacity, stable pressing force, ensuring flat boards, quite accurate thickness.

- In turn, put the panels into each tray of the hot press machine, high temperature and pressure heat the glue to bond the veneer layers together and permanently solidify product structure.

- Hot Pressing time depends on the thickness, ranging around 20-40 minutes
