Application areas

Plywood coated with anti-slip phenolic film is used for working platforms to maximise the safety of people working at heights. The biggest advantages of wooden working platforms are: low working costs and the fact that they are subject of easy fitting and CNC-machining. This type of plywood is used in places with demand for higher anti-slip properties too, such as theater platforms and ladders.

Fast growing road transport imposes usage of heavy duty materials on trailers’ manufacturers. One of these materials is plywood, which has quite good durability in relations to its thickness. Basic type of plywood used for production of trailers is anti-slip plywood covering their floors. For truck sides and special developments e.g. mobile service stations melamine coated plywood is one of best materials. On the other hand, raw plywood is used for wall fillings or wall protection.

Plywood is also used as one of the elements for preparation of cardboard cutting dies. This products are based on plywood of highest quality designed for laser cutting.

In today’s world plastic flooring panels rule, but the customers are still looking for more traditional solutions which enable them closer contact with natural materials. That’s why they are interested in floors made of natural wood. Unfortunately solid floor boards during usage may cause different problems due to their mechanical properties. That’s why layered wood floor-boardings were invented. These boardings consist of two layers: upper one is made of natural wood and the lower one – of plywood. Those two layers ensure that the boarding has better durability and stability.

Plywood is an excellent material for production of concrete prefabricates used i.a. in construction. Concrete molds made of plywood covered with phenolic film may be used multiply times. Additional advantage of plywood is that it could be used for preparation of more complicated shapes such as flower pots, curbstones, staircases etc.

Plywood is also used for production of toolboxes, packaging boxes, decorative boxes etc. You can find toys and playground facilities made of plywood too.
