Product Overview

Poplar raw plywood is produced from poplar veneers bonded with phenol-formaldehyde resin for enhanced durability and moisture resistance. The cross-oriented structure with an odd number of plies ensures balanced strength and resistance to deformation.

The smooth raw surface allows for easy coating, laminating, or veneering according to project requirements. Exposed edges can be sealed with acrylic or epoxy coatings for extended service life.

Its low density makes it particularly well-suited for applications where weight reduction and cost efficiency are key priorities — from furniture components to packaging solutions.
