Plywood is a sheet material manufactured from thin layers or "plies" of wood veneer that are glued together with adjacent layers having their wood grain rotated up to ••• degrees to one another. It is a versatile material suitable for a variety of applications. Exterior glued plywood, for example, can be used outdoors to sheathe exterior walls, while hardwood plywood is handy for decorative paneling and furniture. Due to its flexible structure, plywood is also widely used to create curved surfaces. Skateboard ramps, for instance, often utilize plywood as the top smooth surface over bent curves to simulate the rise and fall of ocean waves.
China's evolving plywood manufacturing is a multi-billion industry. Numerous Chinese manufacturers have acquired advanced machinery to streamline the manufacturing process, gearing the sector toward quality enhancement and greater efficiency on the plywood market.
Chinese plywood is produced both for local use and exports. With limited forestation in the country, manufacturers have turned to its more plentiful bamboo resources, and over the past ten years, breakthroughs have been made in its use. As a new type of structural material, bamboo plywood is experiencing a boom, with production soaring, turning it into an essential component of the forest products industry in China.
