High Moisture Additive
A specialised additive that lets facilities bond high-moisture veneers and skip extensive mechanical drying.
Why it matters
- Enables plywood production with veneer moisture content up to 16%, reducing the need for excessive drying
- Lowers utility and drying costs by minimising core-veneer drying requirements
- Reduces core loss and warpage while improving overall drying efficiency and veneer utilisation
Specialized Additive for High Moisture Content Veneers
P-1000: Revolutionizing Wet Veneer Plywood Production
Veneer drying is one of the most energy-hungry steps in a plywood plant, and wet-season or freshly-peeled veneers can force long drying times or risk blows and blisters in the press. P-1000 is engineered specifically for panels made from high-moisture-content veneers.
Added directly into the glue before spreading, it stabilises the bond under moisture conditions that would normally compromise it — with no adverse effect on the finished panel’s strength or technological properties, and full compatibility with standard amino resins.
The pay-off is energy and throughput: mills can process wetter wood seamlessly and cut back on extensive mechanical drying, yielding verifiable savings across the whole manufacturing pipeline.
