STRUCTURAL PLYWOOD(Head office plant,Third plant,Kohoku plant)
"Structural plywood is a wood-based panel material used in structurally critical components of wooden buildings to ensure seismic resistance and durability.
○Product Standards
Complies with various standards stipulated in the Japanese Agricultural Standard (JAS), including ""bending tests,"" ""adhesive strength tests,"" and ""formaldehyde emission tests.""
○Technical and Functional Characteristics
・Cross-laminated structure: Three or more veneers are bonded with their grain directions perpendicular to one another, reducing anisotropy in in-plane shear and bending performance.
・Superior mechanical performance: High nail-holding capacity and rigidity, functioning as load-bearing walls and structural diaphragms that resist horizontal forces during earthquakes.
○Technical Data
・Standard product dimensions: Width 910–1,230 mm × Length 1,820–3,030 mm, etc.
・Thickness: 9 mm, 12 mm, and 15 mm for floor and wall underlays; 24 mm and 28 mm for joist-free flooring systems.
・Strength grade: Grade 2 and Grade 1
・Adhesive durability: Phenolic resin adhesive is used, achieving the highest JAS classification of ""Special Class (Toku-rui)"" for water and moisture resistance.
・Low formaldehyde emissions: F☆☆☆☆ grade (highest grade).
○Applications and Usage in Buildings
・Wall underlays and load-bearing walls in traditional wooden post-and-beam construction and platform frame construction (2×4 method).
・Floor underlays using thick plywood (24 mm or more), allowing floor panels to be fastened directly without the need for joists.
・Roof underlays (sheathing boards): Used as base boards to support roofing materials such as roof tiles and slate.
○Features of the Head Office Plant
・The Head Office Plant commenced operations in 2000 and serves as the core plant of the Nisshin Group, specializing in the production of long-length plywood (2,400 mm or more in length).
・In addition to standard Grade 2 structural products widely distributed in the market, the plant also produces Grade 1 products used in structurally critical components such as load-bearing walls."
