Tata Conswood plywood

made from selec 100 per cent single species Silver Oak trees, both on the face as well as the core, and is chemical-impregnated for greater strength. Marine Conswood ply is PF resin bonded under high temperature and pressure to keep the bonding intact. This makes it Boiling Water Proof (BWP). The finished plywood is subjected to toxic chemical treatment to provide protection against insects like borers and termites and fungi. The whole process is monitored by skilled personnel and strict quality control measures at every stage of production help eliminate imperfections, if any.Tata's heavy-duty plywood is available in: Shuttering and film faced plywood Marine plywood Commercial plywood Block board Hi-end wood composites Shuttering and film-faced plywoodConswood shuttering and film-faced ply are made from selected Silver Oak trees and chemically impregnated to make them highly durable and sturdy. This enables repeated use in construction works. They can be reused as many as twenty times on either side under optimum conditions. With proper care in handling, use, stripping and storing, they can be adapted to many other uses as well. Marine plywoodConswood Marine ply is made from timber of a single species. Selected pieces of core and face veneers are PF resin bonded. It is ideal where strength, durability, dimensional stability and elegance are required. Since no rubber or inferior wood is used for the manufacture of this plywood, it is more resistant to water and insect attack. It also holds paints and varnishes longer and has excellent insulation properties. Further, the finished plywood is subjected to chemical treatment for overall protection against insects, borers, termites and fungi. Commercial plywoodThe face veneer thickness of this ply, in keeping with the set standards, makes it both long-lasting and easy to work upon. While it is not advisable to use this ply for shuttering purposes, it can be put to extensive use in internal applications where it is not exposed to moisture.Block boardConswood Block board is an exterior grade wood panel called 'EXCOM'. Conswood Block Board WBP Grade are made from 100 per cent estate grown single species Silver Oak timber and manufactured with great care to ensure highest quality standards. It is made up of solid 'batten core', consisting of narrow battens of wood measuring 30mm laid side by side and covered with a few plies of veneer on both sides. The battens for the core are cut from plantation timber seasoned to a moisture content not exceeding 12 per cent and the width of each strip are symmetrically uniform. These boards are well balanced around the centre line and have excellent dimensional stability. They are also weather and boil proof and hold paints and varnish durably long. It is essentially a furniture panel, and in a modified form, it can be used as flush doors. Hi-end wood compositesThis series is a shift away from the conventional plywood and targets the OEM's and end users.This range mainly constitutes of Fire retardant composite panels Sound absorbing composite panels Fire retardant composite panel: The fire retardant plywood has a fire rating between 30 to 120 minutes and is ideally suited for application in bus body floors, amongst others, for which it was originally engineered. It also finds its use in residential application, more specifically constituting the kitchen area. It is manufactured to meet the stringent ISO 5509: 2000 standards, needless to say it has high strength and mechanical properties as compared to the regular marine grade. Environmentally superior, it can confidently be used for engineering applications where load bearing is an important criteria. Also, where form and functions have to be met in specific applications requiring high strength to weight ratio, the variety is a perfect fit.Sound absorbing composite panels: The sound absorbing composite panel is the new plywood variant to insulate from sound pollution. It is ideally suggested for applications in BPO's, home theatres, amphi-theatres, auditoriums and in areas where sound decibel levels are required to be contained. It has been tested for performance at accredited laboratories and passes the requisite stringent standards under ISO 9901 and ISO 140. The panels have a unique PF based resin formulation specially developed for the purpose and like in the case of the Marine plywood all the veneer layers are treated against termite and borer. To enhance aesthetics, its in order to veneer the surface of the panels.
