Advantages of Laminated Veneer
Compared with solid wood, LVL has the advantages of uniform structure, high strength, good dimensional stability, etc.
Requirements for use in areas such as timber construction, bridges, furniture and transportation.
Development history and significance
The study of LVL as a new type of board began in the early 1970s, when the demand for wood in North America increased rapidly and the price of high-quality wood was high.
However, due to the rapid development of the petroleum industry, the price of its by-product synthetic resin has continued to fall, thus promoting the rapid development of the production of laminated veneer from small-diameter wood. The lack of forest resources in my country, coupled with the implementation of the "natural forest protection project", people pay more and more attention to the utilization of fast-growing forests; and artificial fast-growing forests such as poplar, fir, etc. have soft materials, low strength, and large size variability. and other shortcomings. The use of small-diameter low-quality fast-growing veneers to produce LVL can replace the large-sized sawn timber that must be sawed with large-diameter logs. And to broaden its application field, it is also of great significance to alleviate the contradiction caused by the shortage of wood in our country.
