Other plywood, veneered panels and similar laminated wood, of non-coniferous wood

cpc code 31422 covers a diverse range of wood-based products that are widely used in construction, furniture manufacturing, and various other industries. These non-coniferous plywood, veneered panels, and laminated wood products play a crucial role in the global economy, providing essential materials for a wide range of applications. As the demand for sustainable and versatile building materials continues to grow, the importance of this industry segment is expected to remain strong in the years to come.

The production of the products covered under cpc code 31422 typically involves a multi-step process. First, thin sheets of non-coniferous wood, known as veneers, are prepared. These veneers are then layered and bonded together using adhesives to create plywood or laminated wood panels. The number of layers and the orientation of the wood grains can be adjusted to achieve desired strength and stability characteristics. Advanced techniques, such as the use of heat and pressure, may also be employed to enhance the bonding and overall quality of the final products.

The main inputs required for the production of the goods under cpc code 31422 include non-coniferous wood species, such as 31100 Sawlogs and veneer logs, adhesives, and specialized machinery for veneer preparation, layering, and pressing. The specific wood species used can vary depending on the desired properties and end-use applications, with popular choices including 31210 Tropical wood in the rough or roughly squared and 31220 Non-coniferous wood in the rough or roughly squared. Additionally, the production process may require various tools and equipment for cutting, shaping, and finishing the final products.

The primary outputs of the industry covered by cpc code 31422 are a diverse range of plywood, veneered panels, and laminated wood products. These materials are widely used in the construction industry for applications such as 41210 Builders' joinery and carpentry of wood, 41220 Wooden containers, and 41230 Other builders' joinery and carpentry of wood. Additionally, the outputs of this industry are often consumed by the 38100 Furniture and 38200 Other manufactured goods n.e.c. sectors, where they are used in the production of furniture, cabinetry, and various other wood-based products.
