Pando Lab Tech
In the plywood industry, laboratory technology plays a crucial role in ensuring product quality, safety, and performance. Various tests and analyses are conducted to meet industry standards and customer expectations. Here’s an overview of key lab technologies and practices used in the Pando plywood.
1. Wood and Veneer Testing
Moisture Content: Determines moisture levels in wood and veneers, affecting bonding and durability.
Density: Measures wood density for strength and stability.
Grain Orientation: Assesses wood fiber orientation, influencing plywood’s mechanical properties.
2. Adhesive Testing
Bond Strength: Evaluates adhesive bond strength using shear and delamination tests.
Viscosity: Measures adhesive viscosity, critical for application.
Curing Time: Tests adhesive curing time under specific conditions.
3. Physical and Mechanical Properties Testing
Flexural Strength: Measures plywood’s ability to withstand bending.
Impact Resistance: Evaluates plywood’s shock absorption.
Thickness Swell & Water Absorption: Assesses dimensional stability and water resistance.
4. Fire and Chemical Resistance Testing
Fire Retardancy: Tests fire resistance to standards like ASTM E84.
Chemical Resistance: Assesses performance under chemical exposure, ensuring safety compliance.
5. Surface Quality Analysis
Visual Inspection: Checks for surface defects like knots or discoloration.
Surface Smoothness: Measures smoothness for finishing applications.
6. Environmental Testing
Formaldehyde Emission: Tests formaldehyde release for indoor air quality.
Sustainability: Assesses environmental impact of plywood production.
7. Advanced Technologies
X-ray Fluorescence (XRF): Analyzes elemental composition for harmful substances.
Spectroscopy: Uses techniques like NIR to assess wood properties and adhesives.
8. Quality Control Systems
Statistical Process Control (SPC): Monitors production quality through data analysis.
Quality Assurance: Sets testing standards to ensure consistent manufacturing quality.
