Wood is essential in Japanese house construction. In recent years, processed wood materials (such as laminated plywood) have been widely used. The manufacturing of such processed wood typically employs a hot press method, where the materials are pressed together using a press heated to over 100°C. During pressing, the adhesive that seeps out can stick to the heat plates of the press, making it difficult to remove the products, and adhesive clumps can cause press marks on the products, which are common issues in laminated plywood manufacturing. However, our Green Plate can eliminate these problems. 【What is Green Plate?】 It is an aluminum plate coated with a fluororesin that has heat-resistant alloy properties. By installing the Green Plate, it prevents the adhesive that seeps out from the plywood from sticking, improves the separation between the plywood and the heat plate after pressing, and allows for smooth transportation to the next process, enabling the production of large quantities of plywood. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Here is a Q&A about "fluororesin." 【Q&A】 ■ What are fluororesin coatings and linings? - Fluororesin possesses various characteristics such as "non-stick," "low friction," "corrosion resistance," and "insulation." Coating and lining involve surface treatment that utilizes these excellent properties of fluororesin. ■ What is the difference between fluororesin coatings and linings? - The main difference between coatings and linings is the film thickness. Both cover the surface of the base material and protect it by utilizing the properties of fluororesin, but in some cases, a thicker film is applied specifically to achieve pinhole-free results. In the resin lining industry, coatings with a thickness of 250μm or more that are pinhole-free are referred to as "linings." *You can view other Q&As through the link to our company website below. *For more details, please feel free to contact us.
