Vietnam has become a leading plywood manufacturer globally. One key reason for its popularity is the unique characteristics of its core veneer, which set Vietnam plywood apart and make it favored by many end-users
Here are 4 characteristics of Vietnam’s core veneer that make it special
1/ Vietnam plywood core layer is Harwood material
The most common hardwood species used for plywood manufacturing in Vietnam are Eucalyptus, Acacia, Rubber, and Styrax. These trees grow easily and adapt well to Vietnam’s climate, taking just 5-7 years to mature. Their wood is ideal for plywood because it holds nails, screws, and glue well, is easy to color, and can be sanded and polished for a smooth finish. It cuts easily with hand tools and machines. Additionally, this wood resists termites and withstands strong impacts effectively.
2/ Core Veneer Plywood with special technical specifications:
Veneer is a crucial material in plywood production, so its quality must be strictly controlled before use. Vietnamese core veneer typically has a thickness of 1.7 to 2mm and moisture levels below 20% when air-dried or under 14% when forced-dried. The two common drying methods are air-drying and forced-drying.
Wood Veneer for plywood manufacturing
Both methods produce high-quality veneer sheets for plywood. Plywood consists of multiple layers of veneer glued together after drying, with at least three layers. This process forms various types of plywood, such as film-faced, commercial, LVL, packing, and birch plywood
3/ Core Layer Plywood with a variety of quality
Vietnamese central veneer plywood is classified into three grades: A, B, and C, suitable for various manufacturing needs from high to low quality. Grade A core veneer, which is smooth, mold-free, without tears or defects, is ideal for high-quality plywood like Pro form film-faced plywood and birch plywood.
4/ Abundant and sustainable source of core veneer
In addition to plywood, Vietnam exports core veneer to meet global plywood production needs and offers a plentiful source of hardwood to diversify wood supplies.
