PLYWOOD
Plywood - is a wooden product made of bonded plies of veneer.
Plywood is normally made of a number of plies depending on the thickness, necessary to archive. The veneer is normally is cross-bonded. There is a plywood with veneer grain positioned in the same direction.
The number of plies in the plywood we producer could range from 3 to 23.
The grain of the face ply of the plywood is normally directed in the same longtude as the core ply, thus uneven number of plies in the plywood.
Standard plywood panels are bonded with phenolic resin adhesive and depending on the resin used could be for interior and exterior use.
The plywood also differs upon the type of the wood used. It could be birch, coniferous and kombined. The veneer of the face normally accepted as the veneer of which the whole plywood is made of.
One of the most important characteristics of the plywood is the amount of formaldehyde emitted. It could fall in class E1 or E2 and emits up to 10 or 10 to 30 mg of HCHO per 100 gr of product respectively.
Applications and usage of the plywood produced by UPG:
Plywood has the widest usage between all panels. It could be used as a general construction panel. It suitable for use on floors, walls and ceilings. Other applications include various types of packaging, concrete moulds, fences, furniture, etc.
Construction
One of the main areas for using plywood is the construction and
building industry. Concrete cast and moulds, walls, ceilings,
floor panels are all made of the plywood. Pedestrian bridges, parking facilities, warehouse and factory hall floor, loading docks, piers, are just few of the areas the plywood could be used.

Before & after USE recommendation
BEFORE
Protect the panels from direct contact with water and sun by storing in a building or by covering with a suitable waterproof cover. Store on level ground, well clear of mud or standing water, and away from any risk of contact with vehicles or machinery.
Avoid storing in very hot and dry places which may lead to panel distortion.
If the panels are to be stored on site for more than a few days, the outer packing and strapping should be removed.
CAUTION:
Once the strapping has been removed, the boards should not be moved further on site using mechanical handling equipment, as overlaid panels are extremely slippery.
Formwork preparation
Coated UPG Shuttering plywood is delivered with edges painted to exclude moisture penetration. If panels are cut or drilled on site, all cut edges and holes must be painted immediately with a suitable water resistant paint.
For best results plywood should be fastened to the form from the back of the panel. The selection of the most suitable type of release agent, in accordance with the phenol film overlay, will ensure cleaner striking of the forms and more reuses.
The quality of the release agent may also affect the quality or appearance of the concrete finish.
AFTER USE
Clean carefully and reoil immediately. Forms not cleaned immediately after use are likely to be damaged when removing fully cured concrete from the face. Take care not to damage the panel surface if using metal or other sharp tools to remove concrete from the panel.
Store the forms with the face away from the sun, for example leaning against a wall. Exposure of the plywood face to the sun can lead to rapid loss of moisture from the face veneer, and damage to the overlay.
Depending on storage conditions and intervals between pours, formwork panels must be oiled before each and every use.
Repair small scratches with paint or a suitable mastic. Fill deeper scratches, nail or screw holes with mastic or epoxy filler. Wooden inserts are available for larger repairs.

Furniture manufacturing
Nice appearance, good durability, relatively low weight, make birch interior plywood very popular among furniture producers.
Packaging
Durability, water resistance, re-usability, and health safety make plywood an ideal material for production of packaging.
Machine and ship building
The unique qualities of plywood, like corrosion resistance, relatively low weight, water and wear resistance, high degree of durability make this material very attractive in the construction and machine building, including ship building.
Birch plywood
Birch plywood has exceptional mechanical properties and nice appearance because of the qualities of the birch timber.
The strength, elastic properties, wear resistance of birch plywood make this type of the board one of the most popular type of plywood
The birch plywood could be of two types - the interior plywood for interior usage and furniture manufacturing and exterior plywood.
Birch plywood for interior and furniture production - due to miserable formaldehyde emissions of urea carbamide resin this kind of plywood is perfectly suitable for internal applications, in the manufacturing of children of children furniture, toys.
Birch plywood for exterior usage - that is a special weather and boil resistant plywood. This plywood is widely used as a finishing material in the building industry, in the production of furniture, packaging and for other purposes
