About plywood consisting solely of sheets of wood, except of bamboo

cpc code 3141 covers the production of plywood, a versatile and widely used construction material. Plywood is an engineered wood product composed of thin wood veneers or sheets, typically made from hardwood or softwood species, that are glued together in layers with the grain of each layer oriented perpendicular to the one above it. This cross-laminated structure gives plywood exceptional strength, stability, and durability, making it a popular choice for a wide range of applications in the building, furniture, and packaging industries.

Production process

The production of plywood involves several key steps. First, logs of suitable wood species are peeled or sliced into thin veneer sheets. These veneers are then dried to the appropriate moisture content. Next, the veneers are arranged in layers, with the grain of each layer oriented perpendicular to the one above it. The layers are then bonded together using adhesives, typically synthetic resins. The assembled plywood panels are then pressed under heat and pressure to cure the adhesive and create the final product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of plywood under cpc code 3141 include the raw wood materials, such as hardwood or softwood logs, as well as the adhesives and resins used to bond the veneer layers together. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as veneer peeling or slicing equipment, drying kilns, and hot presses, are essential for the manufacturing process.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by cpc code 3141 is plywood panels, which can be used in a variety of applications. These plywood panels may be further processed or incorporated into other products, such as 4311 Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, 3812 Wooden containers, and 3811 Wooden furniture. The plywood produced under this code is a key input for many industries within the broader wood products and construction sectors.
