Marine plywood

Marine plywood is a type of plywood rigid and light, very resistant, ideal for use where it is necessary to break the transmission of vibrations.

The structure is characterized by a high stratification of noble veneers, able to make the process more stable and uniform, as regards the resistance of both the floor and in the main directions of the fiber that composes it.

The species most used for the production of plywood are the Okoum, such as the African Mahogany Sapele and Sipo and teak.

To be classified as marine, however, it must have certain specific characteristics.
First, the wood must have a natural durability and high resistance to fungal decay, those agents biodegradative very hazardous, crack the material's qualities even when applied.

The norm EN 350-2, with classes 1 to 5, illustrating the classification of the natural durability of the main types of wood used for the plywood.

In addition, the offset must possess certain quality of gluing, in such a way to withstand both substantive changes in humidity, both the climatic stress related to its context of implementation. In this regard are used of resins based on melamine and other materials, after numerous controls and experiments in the laboratory on appropriate specimens.

All these performance characteristics make it a widely used material in the construction field is that interior design, specifically in the marine industry.

Very useful for example if used for the realization of elements in difficult operating conditions, such as structural components or partition systems and, in the nautical field, to collisions and accessories, against the aggressiveness of salt.

And if bonding is suitable for the type resistant to water and moisture, the panels of plywood, can be easily used for bathroom furniture, canopies outdoor pools, saunas or furnishings for Spa.

Given the strength of aspects, in addition, some species used are particularly high performance when used for windows and doors, and as a basis for external shading systems.
