 Plywood industry

Plywood is being used all over the world today as an alternative to wood. Plywood has been used in our country for hundreds of years. In the last century - plywood was used for packing work. Plywood was first used for tea packing in order to keep the tea safe while transporting the tea. Packing boxes made from plywood are slightly lighter and easier to carry than wooden boxes. Being light in weight, plywood boxes are in good demand for packing various types of products and goods. Furniture or other materials made from wood products for human needs in daily life are quite expensive due to restrictions on logging. Plywood is also in demand because plywood is cheap. Much of the plywood production had to be imported from abroad to meet the demand for plywood. But now in India, plywood is produced in states like West Bengal, Kerala, Karnataka, Andaman Nicobar etc. Production and consumption of plywood in India is still less than in developed countries. Plywood industries are currently growing in India due to government protection of plywood industries. New types of plywood products are coming in the market every day after research in plywood. Due to the good demand for plywood in the industrial sector, the speed of production has also increased. Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Mizoram, Nagaland are the major producers of plywood. There are different types of plywood. E.g. There are different types of plywood like preventive plywood, fireproof plywood, waterproof plywood, marine plywood, shuttering plywood, aircraft plywood. Plywood is used instead of timber in industrial areas as it does not respond immediately to fire. Now fully fireproof plywoods are available in the market. Along with that, waterproof plywood which is not affected by water has become available for domestic and industrial use. Sheets of plywood can also be transported from the manufacturing sites to the point of sale at low transportation costs. Because sheets of plywood are straight and flat, they are lighter in weight and can fit more cubic feet of plywood in a space. Due to its light weight, one vehicle can transport more cubic feet of plywood than wood. The plywood can be sold cheaper than wood as the production cost is also lower and the transportation cost is also reduced. Products made from plywood do not deteriorate quickly. Because plywood does not bend, plywood does not expand or contract, plywood does not need to be dried. It is also more durable than wood. One unit of plywood is three units of wood products act. Plywood production speed is also high since water falls on plywood or wet plywood immediately. Plywood is used everywhere today.
