What is the use of plywood bakelized?

In the distant 1909, the world's first patent for the production of plastics was registered. First, phenol-formaldehyde resin was synthesized by scientists , and after that they received the world's first polymer. At first, the new substance was magnificently called by the chemists "oxybenzylmethylene glycol anhydride", but common sense prevailed, after which "bakelite" appeared. Actually, this date was also the day when the plywood appeared bakelizirovannaya.

However, the new substance became popular not at once: it was originally used exclusively for the production of insulators. But after a couple of years, representatives of the automotive and furniture industries drew attention to it: bakelite was an extremely plastic and inexpensive substance ideally suited for mass production.

Soon, a plywood was created, Bakelizirovannaya, which in almost unchanged form exists to this day. It is based on high-quality birch veneer, glued with phenol-formaldehyde lacquer. Given the pressure and temperature, which are inherent in the production of this material, it is possible to achieve almost 100% of the degree of impregnation. The phenols themselves are in an insoluble state and can not harm the health of the consumer, but effectively prevent the plywood from becoming infected with the fungus. Because of this same effect, it almost does not rot.

Despite the extreme simplicity of production, the resulting bakelized plywood has such strength characteristics that it allows it to almost compete on an equal footing with the latest developments. But its cost is much lower, which contributes to the popularity of this material among builders.

If you carefully read, then for sure it will not be a novelty for you that it can be used even in the most difficult environmental conditions. It has a high resistance not only to the action of moisture, but also tolerates the impact of aggressive chemical media. Because of this, it can often be seen in such exotic places, which is the deck of ships. Of course, in such conditions a special bakelized moisture-proof plywood is used, which for a long time is able to withstand even the action of chemically active sea water.

It can also be used as a material for reusable formwork, since even a few pouring cycles can withstand it without problems. It is easy to assemble such formwork, and its even walls allow you to get the base of the almost ideal configuration on the output. Considering its low thermal conductivity, you will lose much less heat, using the technology of winter warming of concrete when pouring. In short, a simple plywood bakelizirovannaya can save a lot of money with minimal costs for its purchase.

The large size of the standard sheets of this material makes it possible to get by with a minimal number of joints. If it is correctly and accurately used, then one formwork will be able to withstand about thirty fillings! Currently, the plywood bakelized brand FBS is produced in our country. Its output is engaged in factories in Tyumen and Nizhny Novgorod, known for the high quality of their products.
