METSÄ WOOD P.O. Box 50, 02020 Metsä, Finland Tel. +358 1046 05 www.metsawood.com/plywood Metsä Wood Laser is interior bonded birch plywood. Laser plywood is available in two options: high quality uncoated, sanded plywood or plywood overlaid with a melamine film.

Applications Base plywood Metsä Wood Laser is specially developed for laser cutting applications The base plywood of Metsä Wood Laser is made of cross-bonded and is mostly used as die cutting plates in the packaging industry. 1.4 mm thick birch veneers bonded with melamine modified urea Laser plywood is suitable also for other indoor uses and for formaldehyde adhesive. applications requiring a colourless glue line with a protective, easy maintenance film surface. Laser is not suitable for outdoor use, Surface grades and overlay because the base plywood bonding is not resistant to weather. Metsä Wood Laser is available as sanded and uncoated product and as overlaid product with transparent or transparent grey melamine film on Major advantages both sides. • Easy to machine with laser cutting devices Metsä Wood Laser uncoated: • Colourless glueline Both surfaces are sanded. The grade of surface veneer is BB quality. Uncoated Laser surface grades follow the classification presented • Strong and rigid in standard EN 635. The uncoated panel surface can be treated with • Excellent strength-to-weight ratio standard paints, lacquers, varnishes and protection treatments • Dimensionally stable applicable on wood products. Confirm the compatibility of a surface • Easy to work with using conventional woodworking treatment from the supplier. tools and fasteners Metsä Wood Laser overlaid: • Environmentally friendly A smooth melamine film is hot-pressed on both panel surfaces to • Easy maintenance film surface enhance surface durability. Surface properties Bonding classes With colourless and transparent film, the colour of overlaid Metsä Wood Melamine modified urea formaldehyde adhesive is used in Laser is similar to natural colour of the birch surface.

Laser plywood is line compared to that of a standard interior bonding. The gluing meets also available with a transparent grey film. the requirements of the standard EN 314-2 / Class 1 (interior). The film surface is semi glossy, smooth, hard and slippery. It withstands abrasion, is moisture-resistant and can tolerate commonly used Formaldehyde emissions chemicals as well as diluted acids and alkalis. The Laser film surfaces Determined according to EN 717-1, the formaldehyde emitted by are well suited for laser cutting. Metsä Wood Laser falls far below the Class E1 requirement of ≤ 0.100 ppm.

METSÄ WOOD P.O. Box 50, 02020 Metsä, Finland Tel. +358 1046 05 www.metsawood.com/plywood Metsä Wood Sonex Light is a birch plywood sandwich panel with good sound reduction properties. Its main end uses are in transportation industry like buses and trains. Sonex Light panels are composite structures made out of plywood and sound reduction material.

Applications Base plywood Metsä Wood Sonex Light is an ideal solution for applications which require Metsä Wood Sonex Light is a composite panel consisting of Metsä good sound insulation, high strength and elasticity properties. Sonex Light Wood birch plywood and Amorim Cork composite sound reduction panel is perfectly suited for light structures where low weight is a priority. material The base plywood of Metsä Wood Sonex Light is Metsä Wood Birch. Birch plywood is made of cross-bonded 1.4 mm thick Benefits in transport uses are: birch veneers bonded with weather- and boil-resistant phenol • Good strength / weight – ratio and high durability formaldehyde adhesive. • Less fuel consumption – Reduction of CO² emissions of a vehicle Sonex Light applications: • Transport industry: Bus and train walls and floors to reduce noise levels Overlay and surface properties in the passanger cabin areas. Metsä Wood Sonex Light standard surfaces are uncoated. Surfaces • Building applications: Partition walls requiring high acoustic insulation are also available with variety of technically or visually high quality overlays. Generally all standard birch plywood overlays e.g. Major advantages thermoset or thermoplastic overlays are available. In addition Sonex Light is also available with Phoenix overlay which • Good sound reduction properties significantly enhances the fire performance of the panel.
