There are different Plywood for Interior and Exterior.Plywood Consists Of:FaceCoreBackThe surface visible after installation is the face and the core lies between the face and back.The Wood Used For PlywoodPlywood can be derived from:Hardwood (such as teak or Gurjan wood).Softwood (such as pine, cedar or mango wood).Trees Used In The Manufacturing Of Plywood:Arjun BirchChampChaplashCinnamonDebdaruDhupEbonyElmGurjanHollockHollongIndian OakLaurelMahoganyMapleMangoNeemPersian LilachPinePoplarRose WoodSatin WoodPineySilver OakSissoo TeakWalnutWhite CedarProperties Of Plywood1.
High Panel ShearTo make it tough to bend, Plywood is made with an odd number of layers.The panel shear of plywood increases due to cross lamination, important in bracing panels and web fabricated beams.3.
Chemical ResistancePlywood is treated with preservatives so that it does not corrode when subjected to chemicals.These are ideal for use in chemical works as well as cooling towers.5.
Impact ResistancePlywood has high tensile strength due to cross lamination of panels.It helps against short term seismic activity or strong winds.6.
Application: Walls, roof sheathing, transitory ground surface, crates, boxes, and so forthHardwood Plywood:Hardwoods like debris, oak, red oak, birch, maple and mahogany, in three to seven layers.
