In daily life, industrial plywood is a common material. Currently, there are many types of plywood that are widely available in all shops and showrooms. It is difficult to classify types of plywood if you have no experience. This article will provide thorough instructions on how to categorize plywood most precisely in order to identify and select plywood for your project.

1. Overview of plywood

Plywood is made up of multiple layers of wood veneer that are adhered together with formaldehyde or phenol glue and pressed with a hydraulic press. The layers of veneer are arranged at right angles to one another and tightly attached. Plywood is durable, resistant to the effects of the environment, and does not warp.

Plywood is currently available in a wide variety of forms, each with a unique set of properties. You can choose the best option based on your needs.

2. How to classify plywood

Below are the most popular types of boards today.

Particle Board

Particle board known as Okal plywood is produced from natural wood materials such as eucalyptus, acacia, and rubber. Therefore, this type of board has the advantages of high mechanical strength and rich variety.

The surface of the board is covered with different types of decorative materials, such as melamine and veneer. Particle board is often used in home interior decoration and furniture production because of its extremely low price.

Wood Plywood

The raw materials for making WP are obtained from forest trees or other types of wood that have been steam-dried. The progress of science, technology, and engineering in making wood products does not stop at creating straight plywood boards; it is also possible to shape them by bending. Due to this outstanding feature, it is often used as a chair, drawer, and bookshelf.

MDF and HDF plywood

Fiber plywood is made from wood that has been crushed into fibers and then mixed with glue to put into the machine and form straight boards; however, depending on the characteristics and applications, fiber plywood will be divided into two types as follows:

MDF Plywood (Medium Density Fiberboard)

Small wood fibers and tree branches are primarily used to grind into small holes known as cellulose. Cellulo is then washed to remove impurities and residual minerals before being placed in a mixer to combine glue, cellulo, wood protectant, and adhesive.

HDF wood plywood (High Density Fiberboard)

This is a wood commonly used in recording studios and karaoke rooms because it has extremely good sound insulation and high heat resistance. Inside the HDF board is an industrial wood-bone frame that has been dried and treated with anti-termite chemicals, allowing it to completely overcome the defects of other plywood types such as warping and termites.
