Plywood Blog A blog introducing information about Chinese plywood products and markets HOME  >>  BLOG Oriented strand board (OSB) is an engineered man-made panel made of wood strands in specific orientations. The strands of wood are bonded together with adhesives under pressure and heat. OSB is durable, strong, rigid and defect-free . It’s easy to use OSB which can be sawn, planed, nailed, screwed and painted. OSB is an excellent replacement of equivalent grades of plywood, solid panel or other wood panels. There are 4 types of OSB according to their physical properties. Their moisture-resistant ability is depending on the glue used. OSB/1 : general purpose OSB (interior use in dry conditions) Glue: UF glue (Urea Formaldehyde) Applications: For non-structural usages, packing, furniture, decorating.  OSB/2 : load-bearing OSB (used in dry conditions) Glue: PMDI(Isocyanate) for the core, MUF (Melamine-Urea-Formaldehyde) or PF(Phenol Formaldehyde) glue for the outer plies. Applications: Furniture, decorating, flooring, roofing, wall, signboards, packing, pallets.  OSB/3 : load-bearing OSB (used in humid conditions) Glue: PF glue (Phenol Formaldehyde). Applications: Flooring, roofing, wall sheathing, signboards, packaging.  OSB/4 : heavy-duty load-bearing OSB (used in humid conditions) Glue: PF glue (Phenol Formaldehyde). Applications (Structure panel): Structural components, wall sheathing, flooring & Subfloors, roofing, I-beams.  The density of OSB: The density of common OSB is 650kg/CBM (+/-5%) . But the density varies with the wood species and compress ratio during production. BlOG Whatsapp Youtube Facebook X-twitter Instagram

Plywood Blog A blog introducing information about Chinese plywood products and markets HOME  >>  BLOG If you import plywood from Russia, you may find that the glue for their plywood are FK glue or FSF glue . What are FK glue and FSF glue? In fact, ‘FK’ stands for Water Resistant Glue (it should be Moisture Resistant Glue) , i.e. MR glue . FK glue is urea-formaldehyde resin (carbamide-formaldehyde resin) , which should meet E1 or E2 grade. ‘FK plywood’ means ‘MR plywood’ . FK plywood is interior plywood which can be used for interior decoration, furniture, packing. ‘FSF’ means ‘water proof glue’ ( it should be ‘water boiling proof glue’), i.e. WBP glue . FSF glue should be phenol-formaldehyde resin . ‘FSF plywood’ is exterior plywood (WBP plywood), which can be used for building & construction, flooring, roofing, furniture, shipbuilding. The meaning of FK & FSF: FK – water resistant plywood (Moisture Resistant, MR plywood) FSF – water proof plywood (water boiling proof, WBP plywood) BlOG Whatsapp Youtube Facebook X-twitter Instagram
