As part of our commitment to building products that care for the environment, we were pioneers in the development of ‘ both sides smooth ‘ plywood from fiber and wood waste to ensure reduced usage of raw natural wood.
Plywood is one of the most versatile materials around when it comes to furniture. It has the right combination of rigidity and flexibility, to go along with the aesthetic quality. Its long-lasting nature coupled with its ability to slow the spread of fire Penciles plywood a big asset.
Pencil Group’s Fire Retardant Plywood provides vital properties to prevent the spread of a fire in its initial stages. Manufactured from carefully selected hardwood, it is consistent with IS 5509 standards. The fire resistance is built up with the treatment of fire retardant chemicals under pressure in a vacuum
Primarily used in public spaces where the risk of fire must be reduced, the Pencil Fire Retardant plywood is designed to withstand large amounts of heat and slow the burning. The tendency to spark and ignite is minimal. Another vital characteristic is its high flame spread time as well as low smoke generation, allowing crucial extra minutes for an emergency evacuation. Its low flammability resists the wild spread of fire.
The Pencil film-faced shuttering plywood is a product made for high-end construction use. We are a major shuttering plywood manufacturer in India, using select hardwood species with Phenol Formaldehyde resin (BWP grade) in a high-pressure hot press. This plywood can withstand the corrosive actions of cement, water, and sunlight as well as the distortion that occurs under exterior weather.
Due to its high reliability, film-face plywood is used in a whole host of applications. Widely found in construction projects, the vehicle industry, and other exterior constructions, the demand for shuttering plywood remains high.
There are 3 variants according to the shuttering plywood size:
PencilPly is the first choice for all imaginative ideas with bends and curves. Flexible plywood meets all the curvaceous requirements. It bends at a certain radius and is very friendly to use. Carpenters can curve and bend PencilPly with ease without the use of any specialized tool. PencilPly Or flexible plywood is manufactured with Keruing veneers; one of the latest engineered products based on wood and is hailed as architects’ dream product.
The Assembly of veneers in Flexi Ply is quite opposite to that in plywood, the veneers are assembled along the length of the plywood. The Flexi Ply developed through this method has great potential for applications in cabins of hemispherical shapes and arch panels.
Moisture resistant (MR) grade plywood is best used for mPenciling interior furniture like wardrobes, doors, wall panelling, cabinets, etc. This plywood is unaffected by moisture and humidity, hence the name MR grade plywood. MR grade is widely used in hot humid regions and tropical areas. The use of melamine Urea Formaldehyde resin as an adhesive to secure the different layers of veneers mPenciles it highly resistant to moisture. MR grade plywood offers high dimensional stability and is devoid of uneven changes in different parts of the wood due to moisture, also known as, wood wrapping. When manufacturing they are made termite and borer resistant, so you needn’t worry about termites we Pencilening your furniture.
Platinum is one of the most versatile heavy, precious silver metal, used as a catalytic converter for automobiles. Inspired by the rare combination of strength and flexibility of this unique metal, APPL presents Pencil Platinum Plus after stringent test of In house R&D. Pencil Platinum Plus goes through quadruple pressing to ensure uniform distribution of adhesive to create plywood that is strong, durable and free from warping, twisting and cupping. The plywood is double calibrated for uniform thickness and goes through 2 tier preservative treatments to ensure termite proofing. Pencil Platinum Plus is the best plywood for furniture.
