  2. Plywood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plywood

    Plywood for indoor use generally uses the less expensive urea-formaldehyde glue, which has limited water resistance, while outdoor and marine-grade plywood are designed to withstand moisture, and use a water-resistant resorcinol-formaldehyde or phenol-formaldehyde glue to prevent delamination and to retain strength in high humidity.

  3. BS 1088 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BS_1088

    WBP Glue Line-- BS 1088 plywood must use an adhesive, which has been proven to be highly resistant to weather, micro-organisms, cold and boiling water, steam and dry heat. The product's bonding must pass a series of British Standard tests. Face Veneers-- These must present a solid surface that is free from open defects. Face veneers must be ...

  4. Molded plywood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molded_plywood

    This interlocking pattern greatly reduces swelling and shrinking and generates more resistance in the surface. These properties are used in two-dimensional moldings such as seats, backrests and shells. The veneer qualities can be put together for visible or upholstered molded plywood parts. The inner layers are made of less expensive peeled ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineered_wood

    Plywood and OSB typically have a density of 560–640 kg/m 3 (35–40 lb/cu ft). For example, 9.5 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in) plywood sheathing or OSB sheathing typically has a surface density of 4.9–5.9 kg/m 2 (1–1.2 lb/sq ft). [51] Many other engineered woods have densities much higher than OSB.

  6. Softwood - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Softwood

    For example, balsa wood, which is a hardwood, is softer than most softwoods, whereas the longleaf pine, Douglas fir, and yew softwoods are much harder than several hardwoods. [ citation needed ] Several specific natural, macroscopic and microscopic features of wood are used in the identification process of a softwood species.

  7. Composite material - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composite_material

    The mechanical properties of the composites can be tested using standard mechanical testing methods by positioning the samples at various angles (the standard angles are 0°, 45°, and 90°) with respect to the orientation of fibers within the composites. In general, 0° axial alignment makes composites resistant to longitudinal bending and ...

    Examples include decorative laminates, textiles, paper, foundry sand molds, wrinkle-resistant fabrics, cotton blends, rayon, corduroy, etc. It is also used as wood glue. It is also used as wood glue. In the wood industry, it is utilized as a thermosetting adhesive to bond wood to create plywood and particleboard.
