Tego film plywood products were used in aircraft manufacture in Germany during World War II, and the loss of the plant during a 1943 bombing raid was a serious blow to several aircraft projects. Tego film was an invention of the Essen, Germany, firm of Th. Goldschmidt AG [1] later Evonik Industries [2] ) .
As was the case with initial UK production, Tego-bonded plywood and birch veneer was obtained from firms in Wisconsin, principally Roddis Plywood and Veneer Manufacturing, Marshfield. [218] Enemy action delayed the shipping of jigs and moulds and it was decided to build these locally.
Similar to plywood, Duramold and other lightweight composite materials like the similar Haskelite were considered critical during periods of material shortage in World War II, replacing scarce materials such as aluminum alloys and steel. [2] [3] The material has some advantages over metal in strength, construction technique, and weight.
Tego may refer to: Tego (toego), Bhutanese clothing; Tego film, an adhesive sheet used in the manufacture of waterproof plywood; Tego Calderón, Puerto Rican rapper and actor; Tego, Queensland, a town in the Shire of Paroo, Australia
Tropical plywood is superior to softwood plywood due to its density, strength, evenness of layers, and high quality. It is usually sold at a premium in many markets if manufactured with high standards. Tropical plywood is widely used in the UK, Japan, United States, Taiwan, Korea, Dubai, and other countries worldwide.
One major modification was to install five individual fireproof vaults with a storage capacity of 3,500,000 feet (1,100,000 m) of 35mm film. Office equipment came from Air Force supply at San Bernardino, California , and technical equipment, in excess of $500,000, was obtained from the First Motion Picture Unit in New York and various Air Force ...
Plywood sheet siding is sometimes used on inexpensive buildings, sometimes with grooves to imitate vertical shiplap siding. One example of such grooved plywood siding is the type called Texture 1–11, T1-11, or T111 ("tee-one-eleven").
Other users included Bristol (on the Britannia), SAAB (on the Lansen & Draken), Fokker (on the F.27), Sud Aviation (on the Alouette II/III), Breguet and Fairchild, the film-form having the advantage of greater gap-filling ability with no loss of strength over Redux Liquid 775/Powder 775, allowing for wider tolerances in component-fit, as well ...
