Advantages, disadvantages and distinguishing methods of natural wood veneer and engineered wood veneer
Guide: With the improvement of processing technology, natural wood veneer and engineered wood veneer have also made another step towards sustainable development. Natural wood veneer is a kind of furniture material widely used in furniture and decorative panels at present. It is finally made from natural logs after cooking and planing.
At present, the thickness of the commonly used natural veneer is 0.5mm, also known as 50 threads. There are many types of veneer. At present, there are about 300-500 types of veneer commonly used in China, and the prices of different types vary greatly, including domestic wood and imported wood. With the increasing demand for natural wood veneer in the domestic furniture industry, at present, raw wood veneer is mainly imported, mainly from North America and Africa. With the increasing demand, the natural wood is also increasingly tense, so the engineered and technological veneer came into being. The raw materials of engineered and technological veneer are also taken from natural logs. What are the advantages and disadvantages of natural wood veneer and engineered wood veneer.
1、 Differentiation between natural wood bark and engineered wood bark 1. Natural wood bark is processed from natural logs, and its process is completed through high-temperature cooking, planing, cutting, drying, cutting, labeling and metering. According to different planing methods, wood veneer can be divided into flat cutting and rotary cutting. The texture produced by different planing methods is also very different. At present, the commonly used natural wood veneer is mainly flat cut wood veneer, generally divided into mountain grain and straight grain, which is naturally wide. The peeled wood is generally larger in size, with the common size of 1220X2440mm. The peeled wood is often used to make wood facing backboards or other furniture products. 2. engineered veneer is a kind of veneer that is artificially processed by using the principle of artificial bionics and referring to the texture of natural veneer. It is also taken from natural logs, but it is processed by dyeing and recombining logs through engineered and technological improvement. The normal size of engineered veneer is 2500X640mm. Therefore, the most direct way to distinguish between the two types of veneer is different sizes. The size of engineered veneer is fixed, The texture and color are relatively uniform. It looks rather stiff. The texture of natural wood bark is very natural because it is taken from natural logs. The color and texture of different trees will be obviously different. This is the most accurate way to distinguish between natural wood veneer and engineered wood veneer.
2、 Analysis of advantages and disadvantages of natural veneer and engineered veneer 1. The advantages of natural veneer are natural texture, and there are many kinds of veneer. The price can be divided into low, medium and high grades according to the veneer varieties to meet different consumer needs. For those who like the texture of natural solid wood, natural solid wood composite furniture meets this kind of consumers well. Compared with pure wood furniture, it saves a lot. 2. Disadvantages of natural wood bark: With the increase of people’s demand for furniture products, natural forest resources are becoming more and more tense. For some special varieties, such as Indonesian ebony and Brazilian sour twigs, it is a high-end tree species, and its timber growth cycle takes hundreds of years. Therefore, the export of this kind of wood has been restricted by the producing countries, which further increases the price of rare natural wood bark. Because natural wood bark is taken from logs, its own defects are unavoidable, such as mineral lines, black knots, white edges, wormholes, etc. These inherent defects of wood affect the quality of natural wood bark. If these defects are to be avoided, the utilization rate of logs will be reduced during processing. It causes waste of natural resources. 3. Advantages of engineered and technological veneer: engineered and technological veneer is a variety of veneer dyed and processed by artificially improved engineered and technological means. Its color and texture are relatively uniform, and the variety is also very rich. The inherent defects of natural wood bark are eliminated. The price is cheaper, the size is uniform, and the utilization rate of wood bark is high. 4. Disadvantages of engineered and technological veneer: The texture of engineered and technological veneer is rigid because it is artificially processed. No matter how it is improved, it is still not natural compared with natural veneer. In addition, engineered and technological veneer is bonded with glue during the restructuring process, and its glue formaldehyde content is too high. Today, when the country advocates environmental protection and health, the environmental protection level of engineered and technological veneer is far lower than that of natural veneer. Of course, engineered and technological veneer manufacturers have also noticed this problem, Reduce formaldehyde content through engineered and technological means. Make materials healthier. But no matter how improved. Its environmental protection is not as good as natural wood. The above is a summary of the advantages and disadvantages of natural wood and engineered wood and the differences between the two kinds of wood. I believe you have a deeper understanding of both after reading this article. With the improvement of processing technology, natural wood bark and engineered wood bark have also made another step towards sustainable development.
