What is BIRCH plywood?

Birch Plywood is the term used to describe furniture-grade plywood made by manufacturers. Derived from birch trees, which provide the primary veneer material, this type of plywood earns its name from its source. It's known for its durability and relatively high quality. At the HG Plywood factory, we take extra care in crafting this plywood compared to other types. The adhesive commonly used for this plywood is E0, meeting furniture product standards.

The production process

Stage 1: Wood Harvesting
Select suitable trees (broadleaf or coniferous). At the HG Plywood factory, the most common types of wood are birch, poplar, and paulownia. Using a cutter, harvest the wood, remove branches and leaves, then transport it to the wood processing plant.

Stage 2: Wood Processing
Upon arrival, the wood logs will be soaked in water and cut into appropriate sections.

Stage 3: Plywood Production
Details of this stage are as follows:
Step 1: Peel and cut the wood into pieces according to required sizes, then feed them into the veneer cutter to create thin wooden sheets - core veneers.
Step 2: Dry the core veneers to achieve the standard moisture content.
Step 3: Apply adhesive to the core veneers and stack them perpendicular to each other.
Step 4: Place the boards into the cold press to flatten and ensure even distribution of adhesive. Subsequently, proceed with the hot pressing process to firmly bond the thin wood sheets together with a robust structure.
Step 5: The plywood is cooled and then fed into the edge trimming and sanding machine to remove edges and smoothen the surface.
Step 6: Attach the front/back faces onto the sanded core, using adhesive and undergoing a second round of hot pressing.
Step 7: Cut to size, remove edges, and perform quality checks before packaging and delivering to customers.
