Speaking of birch plywood, it is well known as the conventional wooden product of Russia as there are countless Betula on its land and a very mature industry as well.
As the war between Ukraine & Russia, the trading of birch plywood is on a full stop, no one knows when it can be back or even worse-if it will come back? As we can see, at least, it is not going to happen in a short time.
Demand is still there. Whatever happened, life goes on and still needs to build.
As this unsatisfactory situation, we need to find out a solution for users and here it is as.
As birch hardwood with the density of 700kgs/m³ which means we need to find out a paralleled tree to be a replacement. After comparing exchangeability from specification technical qualification and economic aspects, eucalyptus comes out as a part of the suitable and ideal substitute for the below reasons.
- Eucalyptus is one of hardwood as birch
- With a density of 650kgs/m³which only 50 different from birch
- 100% FSC
With those points, as I marked, it is still just a PART of the solution. But, why it is just a part?
To find out the answer, we need to take a closer look at them both. Plywood from birch with beautiful face and back which is both white and flat. It is a good choice for inner decoration and furniture making.
And for eucalyptus, it is with a light red color which is different from birch.
As we all know what a difference that consumption habit makes for a market and we do really respect it.
To solve this problem, if this is, we take poplar as face & back/ top & bottom ply instead of full eucalyptus which is more color bright white and almost zero change over density. The last but not the least, more saving.
Compared with birch plywood, this combi can also meet requirements for roofing/wall/subflooring/furniture from water proofing/durability and aesthetic appreciation with different sizes 1220*2440mm/1250/2500mm, thicknesses.
