G-P Unveils World's lorgest Plywood Press

A scientific break-through, ranked among the most sig- nificant in history of the forest products industry, has resulted in a completely new process for laminating wood. An unusual concept in building materials is the end product.

The new technique is the first continuous proiess for making plywood, it is announced by Georgia-Pacific Corporation, largest of the world's plywood makers.

Described as "the plywood of the future," the Company's new panels have been named "Fiber-Ply" and will start leaching U.S. markets from a new G-P plant in Springfield, Oregon, at the rate of 2,ffi0,W square feet a month (sfi-inch basis) within the next few weeks.

New Manufacturing Concept

"Our new concept in manufacturing, which eliminates many time consuming and costly steps, has resulted in a hard-surfaced panel with many new qualities. It will make plywogd even more competitive in the world's building materials markets," according to R. B. Pamplin, G-P president.

The new panel has two more "plys" than regular plywood, including a tough built-in smooth surface on both sides that eliminates need for a paint undercoat. It also eliminates checking and minimize grain raise, the announcement said.

The process is centered around a new type of "hot press" unveiled by G-P as the largest plywood press in the world. It has 60 openings in rvhich individual panels of Fiber-Ply become a permanent bonding of strong fir veneers and resin-impregnated wood fiber in one continuous operation.

Pamolin said that Fiber-Ply, despite its new qualilies, will be sold in the same price bracket as conventional fir plywood of similar grade.

The process, developed by G-P research teams, completely reverses the traditional method of plywood manufacture. Within minutes, on a continuous basis, green veneers move directly from the log into the 4l-foot-high press and are heat bonded with dry glue and outside layers of resin-impregnated G-P kraft pulp into a permanently bonded and completely dry panel ready for shipment.

J. T Buckley, G-P vice president in charge of research, explained the result as "a new panel with more stability than standard fir plywood yet with all its strength, plus a smooth one-piece surface that is an integral part of the panel. The surface sharply reduces the amount of paint required, and greatly extends life of the paint job.

"The new process also allows uSe of low-grade veneers for a premium quality product, thus additionally lowering costs and insuring better utilization of our timber reserves," he explained.

Current test runs have proved highly successful, and full production is to start shortly at the Springfield plant, which has not yet been opened to visitors.

- Fiber-Ply has 5 plys instead of conventional plywood's 3 plys in the s/s-inch thickness. This includes 2 plyl of resinimpregnated wood fiber and 3 plys of wood veneer. The f , s/s and /a-inch thicknesses have 7 plys instead of the normal 5.

Both exterior and interior grades are being manufactured. Initial production will be in 4 x S-foot panels.

Will Open New Markets

Pamplin, in announcing the new process, said that .,we expect this break-through in forest products manufacture tcr open_ many new markets on the basis of both highly competitive cost and new qualities.

"The forest industry for many years has sought a method of manufacturing plywood in a continuous operaManufacturers of QUALITY produds Wholesale onlg!

The material has been tested for use anywhere conventional interior or exterior fir plywood is used, "and it will open other areas in which ordinary plywood has not been able to compete," it rvas added.

In the new G-P continuous plyrvood making process, drying of veneers actually takes place in the hot press as part of the new concept in permanent bonding. In the traditional method of plywood manufacture, separate drying of veneers is required, plus the use of wet glue instead of dry ghre as in the G-P process.
