Okoume - Fromager Plywood

Okoume - Fromager plywood is a high quality plywood with Okoume face veneers and Fromager/Okoume core veneers, specially manufactured to provide durability end longevity. Its physical characteristics and mechanical properties are very stable.

Performances and applications

The physical properties of selected Okoume and Fromager veneers, combined with high standards manufacturing, result in extra durability, suitable for industrial and building applications.

Other properties

Glue line: Melamine Urea Formaldehyde (MUF).
Face: Okoume face venners, present a solid surface that is free from open defects. Face veneers are free of knots other than occasional sparse "sound pin" knots. The veneers are reasonably free from irregular grain. Face veneers are B/BB and their thickness is between 1.0 mm and 1.5 mm.
Core Veneers: Okoume and Fromager core veneers, laid-up alternatively, have the same basic requirements as face veneers, except that small splits may occur, and there is no limit on the number of pin knots or edge joints. Core veneer thickness is between 1.5 mm and 3.0 mm.
Finishing: All boards are sanded on both sides equally.
