UPM Grada® Not Your Ordinary Plywood
UPM Grada® is a wood material, which can be formed with heat and pressure. The new Grada technology developed by UPM shortens the form pressing process and increases its efficiency. The UPM Grada thermo-formable wood panel is easily formed into a component in two steps : 1) the panel is heated and 2) formed and cooled in a mould.
The UPM Grada 2000 panel is made of cross-laminated rotary cut birch veneers. Birch is known for its high strength and stability.
UPM Grada material is optimal for two-dimensional shapes. Laminate or veneer surface material can be laid-up on the panel before heating and forming.
Advantages of UPM Grada®
- material can be formed in 95°C, which enables faster heating of the material
- material is manufactured using FSC or PEFC certified wood and following the best practices for sustainable and responsible forestry
- adhesive used in the panel, does not contain any formaldehyde or other harmful compounds
- All UPM plywoods are FSC Certified.
