Plywood competition

Economic Aspects. The stmctural plywood industry now has (ca 1997) about 105 operating mills, representing a significant decrease over the past several years. Production in 1994 was about 17.4 x 10 m (2), also representing a marked decrease over previous years. This decrease is a result of several factors, two of the most important being a decrease in availabiHty of suitable veneer logs, especially in the western states, and competition from the newer oriented strand board stmctural panel industries. [Pg.384]

When a new method is reported for synthesis of polymers, in a short time it is also tried on lignins. New lignin-based raw materials are also constantly appearing the use of steam exploded hardwood lignin for making plywood adhesives has recently been explored by Gardner and Sellers (64) and found promising in this intensively competitive area. [Pg.207]

OSB was developed explicitly as an alternative to plywood, at a time when that industry was faced with falling availability of modestly priced, large diameter logs for traditional construction plywood. OSB capacity has increased rapidly and now provides a competitive alternative to plywood sheathing over the timber frame of a North American house. While most OSB production is in North America, capacity is increasing elsewhere, particularly in Europe but also in South America. While initial growth was as a replacement for plywood, it has evolved to fill new market niches. [Pg.429]

OSB was developed with a single focus, as an alternative to softwood plywood for sheathing houses, but is being used for a wide range of tasks. Many of these currently use plywood, but the cost benefit of OSB and its demonstrated performance make it an alternative that must be considered in a competitive market. [Pg.476]

Protein isolates from milk, other animal products, and soybeans were widely used as adhesives and textile sizes in industry. Competition with man-made adhesives derived from petrochemicals has reduced the utilization of these protein adhesives. After extraction of oils from vegetable oilseeds, such as soybeans, peanuts, and cottonseed, the residual protein-containing meals have been useful in adhesives for the manufacture of plywood. [Pg.34]

Composition Board. In this class of materials are strand board, wafer board, chip board, particle board, and fiber board. As large-dimensional trees have become more scarce, a momentum toward research in developing and using composition board has increased. Wafer board is a construction that is competitive with plywood in many applications. It is made by spraying large wood particles with a resole resin in a rotating drum, usually at 2.5-3.0% of dry... [Pg.335]
