P-1000: Revolutionizing Wet Veneer Plywood Production
Veneer drying is one of the most energy-hungry steps in a plywood plant, and wet-season or freshly-peeled veneers can force long drying times or risk blows and blisters in the press. P-1000 is engineered specifically for panels made from high-moisture-content veneers.
Added directly into the glue before spreading, it stabilises the bond under moisture conditions that would normally compromise it — with no adverse effect on the finished panel’s strength or technological properties, and full compatibility with standard amino resins.
The pay-off is energy and throughput: mills can process wetter wood seamlessly and cut back on extensive mechanical drying, yielding verifiable savings across the whole manufacturing pipeline.
Why it matters
- Bonds high-moisture veneers without loss of strength
- Eliminates extensive mechanical drying times
- Perfect compatibility with standard amino resins
