Veneer is an excellent finishing material, and dyed veneer is particularly popular in the market due to its endless creativity. Luban Garden has previously published an article on the manufacturing process of dyed veneer. In this issue, we invited Mr. Mao Zhouqiang, who has many years of experience in production management, to share his insights and experience from the perspective of the practical application of dyed veneer.
What is dyed veneer?
Dyed veneer is a new type of beautiful and exquisite material that is made by dyeing and defect-processing natural veneer using high-tech processing technology. It has the texture of natural veneer and makes up for some of the defects of natural veneer.
Dyed veneer can change color without changing the natural veneer texture. At the same time, the color diversity enriches the designer's color imagination space, enhances the use value of the veneer itself, and adds a lot of color to the living environment.

Regardless of the method used, the essence of veneer dyeing is to reshape its color. The first step of "reshaping" requires "fading" the veneer, usually using hydrogen peroxide for bleaching.
Then, acid dye is used to mix the dye required for the design, and the temperature, pressure and time are controlled to allow the dye to fully penetrate into the interior of the veneer.
Finally, a series of operations are carried out, including soap washing, color fixing, drying, baking, leveling, cutting, quality inspection, measurement and coding, packaging and shipping.
