Description
Riga Ply is a high-strength, visually attractive and environmentally friendly panel for use in numerous industries. It can be used uncoated or as base plywood for other Riga Wood products.
Features and benefits:
- Excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
- Durable and heavy-duty.
- Good machining properties.
- Low volatile organic compounds (VOC), including formaldehyde emissions.
- Esthetic and visually attractive.
- Sustainable product.
Further processing
Riga Ply can be processed in many different ways, including film overlaying or special composite materials, lacquering, oiling, cut-to size, CNC, drilling, milling, jointing, edge machining, assembling in sets, scarf jointing.
Construction
Riga Ply is made of 1.45 mm thick cross-bonded birch veneers. Face veneers are available in long and cross grain. For customer specific requirements, specially designed oriented veneer constructions can be used to improve the bending strength and stiffness properties.
Grades
Riga Ply is sanded on both faces, forming a smooth and durable surface, which is suitable for a variety of finishes.
- S (II) for good quality staining and lacquering.
- BB (III) for finishing and coating with transparent and nontransparent thicker overlays and films, veneering and applications where a solid face is required.
- WGE plywood of WG grade without open defects (repaired with filler), for coating with non-transparent finishing material.
- WG (IV) for use where surface appearance is not important, reverse grade.
Surface appearance classification fulfills the requirements of EN 635.
