message: I have heard that in Plywood Terminology the "X" does not stand for "Exterior grade" but for the absolute lowest grade of plywood between the two faces... is that correct? 10:34, 3.7.2007, ----kananga
Exterior Grade plywood is NOT rot resistant.  Any rot resistance comes from the type of wood, not the manufacturing process. CTJ
X could probably be used for different things, but it is commonly used for Exterior, as in Medite and Medex, which is exterior Medite.
FR is Fire resistant. WR is Water Resistant. X isn't an industry designation,just a proprietary naming habit. Billyshiverstick (talk) 21:40, 6 September 2015 (UTC)

message: "Plywood can be sold in sizes up to 6 ft * 25 ft and by the scarf jointing of small sheets up to 6 ft *40 ft, however 6 ft*3 ft is the most common size."
I've never even heard of 6 ft x 3 ft sheets. In the USA, 4 ft (102 mm) x 8 ft (203 mm) is the standard size of plywood with longer sheets available on special order. It is a well engineered standard size and coordinates with the rest of the construction industry. Do other countries use different sizes? JimScott (talk) 14:50, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Plywood size 4x8 ft is sold as 1220 x 2440 mm in Belgium and most of Europe. Other sizes are 10x5 ft (= 3050x1525mm) and in Europe we have more and more 2500x1220 or sizes are limited by the size of the trucks available to transport them!  6x3 ft is a standard size but is pretty rare on the market (here in Belgium at least) JurgenG (talk) 15:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I know zilch about wood so I'm not about edit a page on wood.
In the Tropical plywood section under 'Types of plywood', the paragraph states: "UK, Japan, United States, Taiwan, Korea, Dubai, and other countries worldwide."
UK: country
Japan: country
United States: country
Taiwan:country
Korea: country
Dubai: CITY
I would say that a citation is needed here has Dubai, the Emirates for that matter, isn't, in any significant volume, a producer of plywood... or even an importer at a level of the other countries cited.
Personally, going through some data of the "Tropical Timber Market Report", "The Sustainable Tree Crops Program (STCP)" or the "International Wood Markets Group", the UAE barely ever gets mentionned.
I suggest to simply delete it from the text.
The city name was added on July 17, 2010 by Voodoopoodle, what seem to be a canceled account... non existing user or something.

thread_title: Types of plywood

message: The idea that Nobel "invented modern plywood" is laughably wrong.  Imperial Roman shields were made of plywood, for crying out loud, and the principal difference between "modern" plywoods and ancient plywood is the adhesive, not the method of peeling veneer from logs.  Immanuel Nobel invented a rotary veneer slicer that was more popular than other veneer lathes and saws used to create plywood, and nearly all modern plywood veneers are produced from similar rotary slicers.  That's it.  Saying he "invented modern plywood" is like saying the guy who invented the electric toaster "invented modern bread".  It's ludicrous.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.153.180.229 (talk) 16:53, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

message: I tried to get rid of the "Manufacture" section in September and my edits were reverted. This is a poorly written topic and I'm just trying to make it better. I hope someone good at getting changes made in Wikipedia takes this up.
My point:
First of all,'Manufacture' is located under the subheading of "Types". That makes no sense. 
Second of all, everything in it is already included in other sections of the article, particularly Production and Applications.
The 'Manufacture' section should be eliminated or merged into a re-written 'Production' section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.147.139.26 (talk) 22:57, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

If it is, that's the first time I've heard of anything that's made to the same specs all around the world.

message: Lauan hardwood plywood was extensively used for wall paneling and readily available until recently. However, uncontrolled deforestation of extensive forests in tropical Asia has resulted in shortages of raw materials and scarcity has driven prices up to the point where consumers have been forced to develop alternative materials. Currently available wall paneling is primarily made of MDF with a wood surface veneer. MDF (Medium Density Fiberboard) is similar to particleboard but is stronger due to the presence of fibers. 
Similarly, construction siding, roofing and flooring has shifted from common lumber to plywood to OSB (Oriented Strand Board) and newer manufactured materials such as ThermoPly (which is thinner than OSB but just as strong).

message: Hi
If wood plies is low grade quality smaller delta v makes gauss normal distribution less spread.
If wood plies are of good quality two axis is sufficient. See trigonometry (cosinus and sinus).
The "multiple axis" is covered by two axis in that plane in which more axis is proposed.

message: The section on hardwood plywood says "Hardwood plywood is characterized by its excellent strength, stiffness and resistance to creep" What is creep? The other terms are common, but I'm not sure what creep refers to. A quick search on Wikipedia led me to an article about Creep (deformation), but I don't want to make a wild guess that this is correct and put a link to the article. The cited source doesn't define it either. Would somebody who is in-the-know please either clarify this or put in the link to the Creep article? —MiguelMunoz (talk) 04:58, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
