Riga Form Black Baltic Birch Plywood WBP

Riga Form is Baltic birch plywood overlaid with black phenolic film 220 gr/m2 on both sides.
The environmentally friendly green glue “Riga ECOlogical”, where bio-based renewable lignin to a significant extent is used as a replacement for the traditional fossil phenol, is the latest move towards a new sustainable plywood industry by Latvijas Finieris. The innovative green glue is gradually replacing the traditional glues used in the production of Riga Wood plywood and has been successfully applied in various projects.

This technological breakthrough, reached in cooperation with Stora Enso, World Leader in Chemical and Mechanical Forest Industry, is the most significant innovation in Plywood products gluing since many decades. The carbon footprint of Riga Wood plywood is reduced from production to all its end-uses, offering to all Riga Wood customers a significant competitive advantage in the increasingly green business environment.

Results of Industrial production show that all technical properties of Riga Wood plywood remain unchanged when the environmentally friendly glue Riga ECOlogical is applied. Of course, it’s only the beginning. Our aim is to develop completely fossil free plywood glue in a future, although there is still a lot of research work ahead to achieve that, "Latvijas Finieris" international research and innovation project VIOBOND was made to achieve it.

Product is structurally strong, weather- and water-proof, resists commonly used household chemicals and easy to clean, environmentally friendly and hygienic.
