ROCPLEX Structural plywood is a series of timber veneers glued and pressed at right angles to each other to form a rigid board. Wood’s ROCPLEX Structural plywood is manufactured to AS/NZS 2269 with a permanent Type A phenolic resin. ROCPLEX Structural plywood suits most building applications and comes in many sheet sizes, thicknesses and face grades. Common veneer face grades are CD & DD as well as appearance grade.
‘C’ face is a non-appearance grade where knots and defects are filled. ‘D’ face is non appearance, where limited knots and defects are permitted. Designed for applications requiring a solid non-decorative surface, when appearance is not important. If in exposed weather, plywood may need to be preservative treated.
Radiata Pine veneers are normally used in ROCPLEX Structural plywood.
A waterproof type “A” Bond glue is used in ROCPLEX Structural plywood. The glue is usually identified by its red/brown/black colour. The glue bond is tested by 72 hour boil test.
The veneers are coated with glue then hot pressed under extreme pressure to set the glue and ROCPLEX Structural plywood is the result of this process.
ROCPLEX Structural plywood is normally pressed in uneven layers of veneers. Different thickness veneers are utilised to achieve varying plywood thicknesses.
ROCPLEX Structural plywood is for use in all permanent structural and engineered applications. A Bond is durable and permanent under conditions of full weather exposure and long term stress. ROCPLEX Structural plywood should be preservative treated to ensure it lasts its full service life as it is manufacture
Suitable applications for ROCPLEX Structural plywood
As the name suggests, structural plywood is best used for building and construction purposes like beams and hoardings.
But this type of plywood can also be used in crates, internal structures, bins, boxes, and outdoor furniture.
Some ROCPLEX Structural plywoods are also used for wall and roof bracing. If you want the best ROCPLEX Structural plywood board in terms of longevity and durability, get the A-Bond type as those can definitely withstand some serious beating from the different elements.
If you are looking for something that can withstand a lot of moisture, there is a special type of ROCPLEX Structural plywood called Marine Grade Plywood. This type of board is so adept at taking in water that it can even withstand hours of continuous boiling without de-laminating. Marine Plywood is made with glues that are WBP which stands for weather and boil proof.
ROCPLEX Structural plywood can be both A and B-Bond type. The difference with the two is that A-Bond is still much more durable than its B counterpart. Plywood boards with B-Bond are still suitable for exterior door skins and concrete formwork where it has some protection from harsh weather elements.
