Malacca plywood is a type of eco-friendly board and is currently one of the most widely used boards in decoration. It originates from the Malacca tree, which is native to the Maluku Islands in northeastern Indonesia. It has also been introduced and cultivated in Fujian, Guangdong, and Hainan provinces of China. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Malacca plywood? What kind of furniture is it suitable for? Below is a detailed introduction.
advantage:
1. Originating from trees in Malacca, it is a type of arbor. It is a fast-growing timber, ready for processing in just 5-8 years. It has a high density, a solid inner core, making it very strong, yet lightweight.
2. Its specifications are generally 2440*1220*13mm, with a humidity of 10-12% and a density of 0.33ton/m3. It can be seen that its density and humidity parameters are very moderate.
3. It is light and soft, with an air-dry specific gravity of about 0.23~0.35. It has weak corrosion resistance, dries quickly, and is easy to plan.
4. The solid inner layer is resistant to torsion, and the whole piece can remain flat even when nailed or drilled.
5. Before gluing, the ecological boards with Malacca deck cores undergo a chemical treatment, with sufficient chemicals inside to prevent insects.
shortcoming:
Malacca timber typically emits a distinctive odor during processing, but this odor is harmless to humans. However, if the processing techniques are inadequate, the finished furniture may have a stronger smell.
Malacca planks have relatively poor nail-holding power, and their stability and corrosion resistance are also weak if they get damp.
Based on the advantages and disadvantages of Malacca wood, it is easy to see that Malacca wood is more suitable for making furniture such as wall panels, tabletops, and bookshelves, but not suitable for making furniture in damp places such as kitchens and bathrooms.
