Standard Production Process of Qualified Rubberwood Laminated Boards

Regular formal manufacturers follow strict 6-step production flow to guarantee product stability, which reduces defect rate to below 0.3% per batch. You can refer to the following standard steps to verify if your supplier meets production requirements:

1. Sort raw rubberwood timbers, remove insect-damaged and rotten parts, cut to unified standard sizes
2. Season the processed timbers to adjust moisture content to 8%-10%, fit for use in most global climate areas
3. Apply food-grade formaldehyde-free adhesive evenly on surface of each timber layer
4. Stack layers in cross direction to offset wood expansion deformation, send to 120°C high-pressure machine for 45 minutes pressing
5. Sand, polish and trim the finished panels to get smooth, burr-free surface with unified thickness
6. Conduct full inspection for flatness, adhesive strength and emission index before packaging and delivery
