[What You Need to Know About Wood Panels] Plywood

2025-11-04

Plywood holds an important position among all types of boards. In addition to manufacturing plywood, many other types of boards have been developed based on plywood. Let's explore the world of plywood together.

First, we need to have a clear understanding of plywood. Plywood, also known as multi-layer board, is made by rotary cutting logs into veneers, and then gluing them together with environmentally friendly adhesives to ensure that the fibers of adjacent veneers are aligned perpendicularly. It usually has an odd number of veneer layers, hence the names three-ply, five-ply, seven-ply, etc. Plywood improves timber utilization and is a major way to conserve wood. It is widely used in aircraft, ships, trains, automobiles, construction, furniture, precision equipment, and packaging boxes. Its standard dimensions are generally 2440mm × 1220mm × 3mm-18mm.

Next, let's take a look at other types of plywood derived from plywood, including multi-layer solid wood furniture boards, eco-friendly furniture boards, and other series of boards: E0 grade boards, formaldehyde-free + insect-proof boards, plant-based adhesive boards, flame-retardant boards, and flame-retardant + water-repellent 2-in-1 plywood boards.

Multi-layer solid wood furniture panels are made from high-quality, environmentally friendly multi-layer plywood as the base material, with a 0.2-1mm thick natural wood veneer or engineered wood veneer applied to one or both sides. They undergo dozens of processes including hot and cold pressing, sanding, and advanced finishing. They offer advantages such as structural stability, resistance to deformation, and environmental friendliness, making them a primary material choice for high-end wardrobes and furniture.

Eco-friendly furniture boards are decorative panels made by soaking paper with different colors, patterns, or textures in an amino resin adhesive, drying it until the adhesive cures, laying it on the surface of plywood, and then hot-pressing it. They possess excellent properties such as being paint-free, wear-resistant, stain-resistant, moisture-proof, and deformation-resistant. They are environmentally friendly, come in a rich variety of stylish and customizable colors, and are widely used in furniture manufacturing and home decoration for wardrobes, cabinets, shoe cabinets, etc. (Note: In addition to plywood, there are also core materials such as blockboard and plywood.)

E0 grade boards have formaldehyde emissions at levels comparable to those found in beer, meeting the strictest European environmental standards. They are included in the "Government Procurement List of Environmental Label Products" jointly issued by the Ministry of Finance and the State Environmental Protection Administration. (Note: This includes core materials such as blockboard, veneer panels, and engineered wood panels, in addition to plywood.)

Our formaldehyde-free and insect-resistant board series utilizes a self-developed formaldehyde-free adhesive for engineered wood products. This environmentally friendly building material leads the industry, meeting formaldehyde-free standards and exceeding US CARB II and Japanese F★★★★ standards. Our insect-resistant technology has won the "National Building Decoration Materials Science and Technology Innovation Award." (Note: In addition to plywood, we also offer core materials such as blockboard, veneer panels, and engineered wood panels.)

Plant-based adhesive series boards are made from pure natural biomass adhesive (soybean adhesive). While possessing superior bonding properties, compared to traditional aldehyde-based adhesives, they contain no formaldehyde, benzene, phenol, or other harmful chemicals, and emit no toxic or irritating gases. Suitable for furniture, wardrobes, and other furniture making, they bring a truly healthy and environmentally friendly quality experience to home life. (Note: In addition to plywood, there are also core materials such as blockboard, veneer panels, and engineered wood panels.)

Flame-retardant series boards are made from high-quality log veneers, processed through mature production processes including flame-retardant treatment, drying, glue preparation, glue application, assembly, cold pressing, and hot pressing. The flame-retardant properties, smoke suppression properties, and smoke toxicity of the products all meet national standards. The products also maintain the excellent physical and processing properties of traditional engineered wood products, as well as their consistent environmental performance; the free formaldehyde emission limits all meet E0 standards. They can be widely used in furniture manufacturing and interior decoration in public places or ordinary private homes.

This 2-in-1 series of flame-retardant and insect-proof boards not only effectively prevents harmful insects such as termites and borers from eating and damaging wood products, extending the service life of the boards, but also has excellent flame-retardant properties, providing dual protection and comprehensively ensuring the safety of your home.
