Product Description
Plywood is a versatile and durable engineered wood product that is widely used in various industries, including the manufacturing of die-cutting tools and cardboard blades. Unlike construction-grade plywood, the plywood used for these applications is specifically designed to meet the demands of precision cutting and high-stress environments.
Application
Die-Cutting Tools:
Plywood is commonly used as the base material for die-cutting dies, which are used to cut shapes from materials such as paper, cardboard, fabric, and plastic. The strength and stability of the plywood ensure that the dies maintain their shape and precision over time.
Cardboard Blades:
In the production of cardboard blades, plywood serves as a sturdy backing material that supports the cutting edge. Its high density and smooth surface contribute to the overall performance and longevity of the blades.
Characteristics
1. High Density and Strength:
The plywood used for die-cutting and cardboard blades is typically made from high-density hardwood veneers, ensuring exceptional strength and durability. This allows it to withstand the intense pressure and repetitive forces encountered during cutting operations.
2. Precision and Stability:
The layers of veneer are bonded together with strong adhesives, creating a stable and uniform material that resists warping and deformation. This stability is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and consistency of die-cutting tools.
3. Smooth Surface Finish:
The surface of the plywood is finely sanded to provide a smooth and even finish, which is essential for achieving clean and precise cuts. This also helps in reducing friction and wear on the cutting blades.
4. Customizable Thickness:
Plywood for die-cutting is available in various thicknesses, allowing manufacturers to select the appropriate grade based on the specific requirements of their cutting applications. Thicker plywood is often used for heavy-duty cutting tasks, while thinner sheets are suitable for more delicate operations.
5. Resistance to Moisture and Chemicals:
Specialized treatments and coatings can be applied to the plywood to enhance its resistance to moisture and chemicals. This is particularly important in environments where the plywood may be exposed to liquids or harsh substances during the cutting process.
