The plies are placed so that grain of each layer is at right angle to the
grain in the adjacent layer.
The chief advantages of plywood over a single board of the same
thickness is the more uniform strength of the plywood, along the length
and wid th of the plywood and greater ,resistance, to cracking and splitting
with change in m oisture content.
Usually synthetic resins are used for gluing, phenolic resions are usually
cured in a hot press whi ch compresses and simultaneously heats the plies
between hot plates whi ch maintain a temperature of 90 degree C to 140
degree and a pressure of 11 to 14 Kg/Sq. Cm. on the wood. The time of
heating may be anything from 2 to 60 minutes depending upon thickness.
When water glue are used the wood absorbs so much water that the
finished plywood must be dried carefully When synthetic resigs are used
as adhesive the finished plywood m ust be exposed to an atmosphere of
controlled humidity until the proper amount of m oisture has been
absorbed.
According to I.S. Latest edition, the plywood far general purpose shall be
of the grades namely BWR; WWR and CWR, depending upon the
adhesives used for bonding the veneers, and it will be further classified

and riot more than 16 percent.
