The difference between melamine board and plywood

The difference between melamine board and plywood

In the field of modern home decoration and furniture manufacturing, the choice of panels is crucial. As common man-made panels,melamine board and plywood, although they may have similarities in appearance, there are significant differences in terms of performance, characteristics and scope of application.

1.Melamine board

referred to as melamine board, is called ecological board in the industry. Its full name is melamine impregnated film paper veneer artificial board.

It is a decorative board made by soaking paper with different colors or textures in melamine resin adhesive, drying it to a certain degree of solidification, and paving it on the surface of particleboard, moisture-proof board, medium-density fiberboard, plywood, blockboard or other hard fiberboard.

Performance of melamine board:

Firstly, It can imitate various patterns at will, with bright colors, and is used as a veneer for various artificial boards and woods. It has high hardness, wear resistance and good heat resistance.

Secondly, It has good chemical resistance and can resist the abrasion of general acid, alkali, grease and alcohol and other solvents.

Besides, The surface is smooth and clean, easy to maintain and clean. Melamine board is a wall decoration material.

2.Plywood

Plywood is a three-layer or multi-layer plate material made by peeling wood segments into veneers or planing wood blocks into thin wood, and then gluing them with adhesives.

It usually uses an odd number of veneers, and glues the fibers of adjacent veneers perpendicular to each other. The board product has a flat appearance, a large width-to-thickness ratio, and a large surface area per unit volume.

This appearance feature brings about its characteristics in use:

At first, It has a large surface area, so it has a strong covering capacity and is widely used in chemical industry, containers, construction, metal products, metal structures, etc.;

Next, It can be arbitrarily cut, bent, stamped, welded, and made into various product components. It is flexible and convenient to use and occupies an extremely important position in the automotive, aviation, shipbuilding, and tractor manufacturing sectors;

The last ,It can be bent and welded into various complex cross-section steel, steel pipes, large I-beams, channel steel and other structural parts, so it is called "universal steel."
