Veener is wood that has gone through a peeling process in a rotary machine to produce thin wood sheets measuring 0.24 mm – 3 mm. Veener consists of 2 types, namely face / back veneer and core veneer. Face / back veneers are produced from MLH type logs and core veneers are produced from Community Plantation Forest ( CPF ) logs and the remaining MLH log pieces.
Veener Face / Back is the outermost layer of plywood produced from MLH logs to be processed directly in the production process. This Veener is rarely parked for long because it is immediately processed to the assembly stage.
Full Falcata
Full falcata for veneer face / back refers to the use of full falcata wood as the main material for the top ( face ) and bottom ( back ) veneer layers of wood panels, such as plywood ( multiplex ) or blockboard. Both surface ( Face and Back ) are made from Falcata ( Albizia Falcataria ).
Falcata wood is used entirely as the outer layer of the front and back veneer of the wood panel. This is different from the combination of veneers that use hardwood or other species for the face / back.
Advantages of Full Falcata is Lighter, More economical, Easy to process, Suitable for products that do not require high strength.
This type is suitable for light furniture products, decorative panels, or interior purposes that do not require high structural strength.
Mixed Light Hardwood
Mixed light hardwood is a term used to describe a mixture of hardwood species with non – uniform characteristics, usually in the low to medium quality category.
Both surface ( Face and Back ) are made from a group of mixed species of light hard wood. Regularly we use MLH Face – Back veneer made from Merbau ( Intsia Bijuga ) and some specified in meranti class.
“Mixed” it’s means a mixture of various types of wood. In this context, it is not specifically one type of tree, but a combination of several types of hardwood such as mahogany, meranti, jackfruit, rosewood, and others.
“Light” is Refers to the density or specific gravity of the wood. “Light” here means a type of hardwood that is relatively light compared to heavy hardwood such as teak or etc.
“Hardwood” is Indicates that the wood comes from broadleaf trees, usually has a dense and strong structure compared to softwood such as pine.
Uses of Mixed Lite Hardwood is Economical furniture raw materials, Pallets and containers, Firewood, Sometimes used for light construction.
