Aircraft Type Plywood

Aircraft type plywood is a high quality plywood produced with 100% rotary-cut veneers of the tropical hardwood Okoume, specially manufactured to provide durability and longevity. Its physical characteristics are very stable and can withstand exposure to severe weather conditions for prolonged periods of time.

Performances and applications

Aircraft type plywood is very thin and flexible, suitable for industrial and building applications where low wait and flex is required. It is made of selected Okoume thin veneers, using waterproof gluing AW 100 and high standards manufacturing, resulting in extra durability.

Other properties

Glue line: Water and waterproof gluing using Melamine Urea Formaldehyde (MUF) resins.
Face: They present a solid surface that is free from open defects. Face veneers are free of knots other than occasional sparse "sound pin" knots. The veneers are reasonably free from irregular grain. Face veneers are B/BB and their thickness is between 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm.
Core Veneers: They have the same basic requirements as face veneers, except that small splits may occur, and there is no limit on the number of pin knots or edge joints. Core veneer thickness is between 0.5 mm and 1.0 mm.
Finishing: All boards are sanded on both sides equally.

Performance characteristics and standards compliance

Standards: Meets the requirements of EN 13986:2004+A1.
