Description
UPM Grada is plywood that can be formed with heat and pressure. The new Grada technology developed by UPM shortens the form pressing process and increases its efficiency.
Advantages of UPM Grada 2000
-
Thanks to the latest Grada technology development, UPM Grada 2000, enables a more efficient forming process of wood material than before. The thermo-formable wood panel can be formed in 95oC, which enables faster heating of the material. Make your form pressing process more efficient and save energy at the same time.
-
The forming is easy and efficient in two steps – first the panel is heated and then formed and cooled in a mould.
-
The material is manufactured using FSC or PEFC certified wood and following the best practices for sustainable and responsible forestry.
-
The adhesive used in the panel, does not contain any formaldehyde or other harmful compounds.
