WOOD PEELING AND VENEER MAKING

[EIRI/EDPR/1086](J.C. 9730)

INTRODUCTION

The term `Plywood' covers a form of laminated xaves in which successive  layers of veneer are ordinarily cross laminated,  the care of which may be veneer or sawn lumberr in are piece  several pieces.  It  is a high pressure bonded wood product  conposed of layers of waves with resin as the laminating agent.

Kitply is one of the largest manufacturers of plywood in the country  and  manufactures one of the widest range  like  marine, shuttering,  compreg,  decorative and other special  grades.  its factory at Tinsukia is equipped with modern machinery and  highly sophisticatede  hydraulic  heavy duty hot  presses.  The  testing laboratory  is fully furnished with the latest  testing  machines and  scientific instruments for conducting  physical,  mechanical and electrical testing as per buyers' specifications.

The  `Swastik'  brand name is one of the  most  reputed names  in  the plywood industry ande enjous good  market  demand. market  demand  is expected to increase further in  view  of  the steady  increase in construction and building activities and  the rising  standard  of  living in the country.  Kitply,  a  special variety plywood is resistant to boiling water, weather proof  and termite resistant and is well known in the market.

Bonding  of wood with adhesive which generally is  for  more efficient than with mechanical fasteners has made possible a wide range of products and uses for which wood was not considered  few decaddes  ago.  The  bonding  of wood  with  give  dates  to  the pharaohs. Glued wood products have become commons and development of a variety of adhesives and improvements in the glucing process have  continued. During the last 35 year the plywood industry  by far  largest  user  of wood adhesiver  has  become  an  extremily important  factor  in  the  construction  field.  The  structural laminating  industry  also has shown healthy growth  as  improved glues and design information have become available. Adhesives for furniture  have  shifted more and more from those  based  on  the naturally  occurring materials to synthetics. Plywood is a  glued wood  panel that is composed of relatively thin layers of  plies, with  the  grain of adjacent layers at an angle to each  other  (usually 900) . The usual construction have an odd number of plies to provide of balanced construction.  If thick layers of wood are used as plies, often two corresponding layers with the grain in direction  parallel to each other are used. The outer pieces  are faces  or  face  and back plies, the inner  plies  are  cores  or centres  and  the plies are croisbands. The core may  be  vencer, lumber  or  particle  board,  with  the  total  panel   thickness typically not less than 1.6 m.m. or more than 7.6 m.m.

The  term plywood designates a wood panel of three  or  more layers of vencers (plies) bonded together usually with the  grain of  adjacent vencers running at right angles to each other.  When there are more than three plies the product is known as multiply.
