Ⅱ.Global Production Regions
North America
Great Lakes Basin: Hard maple (65% global share), white oak

Europe
Carpathian Mountains: Beech (Romania/Ukraine)
Baltic Coast: Birch (Sweden/Finland, high-density slow-growth timber)
Tropical Zones
Southeast Asia:
Malaysia/Indonesia: Meranti (Mahogany substitute)
Myanmar: Teak (Natural rot resistance)
Amazon Basin:
Brazil: Jatoba (Hardness 2900 lbf)
Emerging Plantations

Ⅲ.Hybrid Hardwood Plywood Formulation
1. Performance-Oriented Formula (Structural Grade)
Layer | Wood Species | Thickness Ratio | Functional Design |
Face | Hard Maple/White Oak | 0.15 | High wear resistance (Janka≥1450 lbf) |
Crossband | Birch+Beech | 0.25 | Shear strength enhancement |
Core | Eucalyptus+Poplar OSB | 0.6 | Stabilizing base (MC≤8%) |
Parameters
Density: ≥720kg/m³
Adhesive: Phenolic Resin (PF)
Standard: EN 13986 (Load-bearing)
2. Cost-Effective Formula (Furniture Core)
Layer | Wood Combination | Ratio | Economic Advantage |
Face | Stained Lauan (Walnut imitation) | 0.1 | Reduce rare wood by 60% |
Crossband | Radiata Pine+Birch veneer | 0.2 | 85% fast-growing species |
Core | Poplar/Eucalyptus scrimber | 0.7 | Raw material cost ↓35% |
Key Process
Surface: UV texture enhancement
Adhesive: UF + Soy protein modification
3. Matching Design Principles
3.1 Density Gradient Principle
Surface layer > Subsequent layer > Core layer (e.g.: 780 → 650 → 550 kg/m³) to avoid stress cracking
3.2 Coordinated Control of Shrinkage Rates
The difference in radial shrinkage rate of each layer ≤ 1.5% (ASTM D143)
