Poplar plywood is an engineered wood panel made by gluing together thin layers (veneers) of poplar wood with adjacent layers rotated up to 90 degrees for strength.
Products Description
Core Material: Poplar Wood
Botanical Source: From Populus species.
Properties:
- Ultra-lightweight (density: 400-450 kg/m³; ~30% lighter than birch).
- Pale color: Creamy white to light brown – ideal for painting/veneering.
- Straight grain: Minimal knots, easy machining.
Glue Types:
- MR (Moisture Resistant): Interior use (furniture, cabinets).
- WBP (Weather & Boil Proof): Exterior applications (requires sealed edges).
Edge Sealing:
Tape sealing (temporary moisture protection).
Painted edges (+$0.2-0.5/sheet; permanent solution).
Grades & Finishes (Value-Added Options)
| Grade/Finish | Target Market | Price Premium |
|---|---|---|
| BB/BB (Sanded) | High-end furniture (US/EU) | +15-20% |
| Film-Faced | Construction (Mideast/SE Asia) | +25-30% |
| Veneer Overlay | Luxury interiors (yachts, retail) | +50-100% |
Structure
Cross-Grained Layers:
Odd number of plies (e.g., 3-ply, 5-ply, multi-ply).
Each layer's grain direction perpendicular to adjacent layers.
Core Types:
100% Poplar Core: Uniform light core (premium grade).
Combi Core: Poplar face + hardwood core (budget option).
Technical Advantages Breakdown
| Advantage | Technical Basis | Buyer Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Ultra-Lightweight | Density: 450kg/m³ (vs. 650kg/m³ for birch) | Saves 15-20% shipping cost per container. |
| Stable Core | Cross-banded veneers + kiln-dried (8-12% MC) | Warp resistance (<1mm/m²) reduces waste. |
| Precision Engineered | ±0.2mm thickness tolerance + sanded faces | Ready for CNC cutting; lowers labor costs. |
| Eco-Compliance | MR/WBP glues (E0-E1 options) | Passes EU REACH/SVHC; avoids customs rejects. |
