| TOPL plywood is an engineered panel
manufactured by laminating layers of wood veneer together with
resin adhesive under heat and pressure to form a strong, stable,
durable panel three or more layers thick. These layers of wood
veneer are peeled from logs chosen for their quality, symmetry,
straight grain and size. They are debarked, cut into segments
and rotated at a high speed in a lathe. The wood veneer is
peeled off in long strips. Although many companies manufacture
plywood using similar techniques, the final product is by no
means equal in performance or function. For instance, plywood
may be rated for INTERIOR or EXTERIOR use depending upon the
performance of the glue line and the quality of veneer.
TOPL plywood outperforms all substitute
wood-based panels in the market today. A wide range of TOPL
plywood grades and products are available to ideally suit
any residential, commercial or industrial application.
TOPL Plywood is a highly stable panel. When exposed to moisture
or high humidity, plywood is up to seven times more resistant
to thickness swell than substitute wood-based panels. Plywood
also returns to its original dimensions when it dries.
Why Plywood?
• Highly Stable
• Stronger & Lightweight
• Impact Resistant
• Proven Performance
• Environmentally Responsible
TOPL plywood is subjected to
continuous quality control checks by the mill personnel.
In addition, quality is monitored by Quality Certification
inspectors during regular mill visits. TOPL inspectors take
random plywood samples back to the TOPL Technical Centre for
extensive laboratory testing.
