The EPiC Database contains embodied environmental flow coefficients for 250+ construction materials using a comprehensive hybrid life cycle inventory approach.<br><br>Plywood is a manufactured timber product made from thin veneers of timber bonded together under heat and pressure. Typically the outer layers (face timbers) are a higher grade with superior aesthetic qualities. Plywood is a high-strength, high quality sheet material, with good dimensional stability and resistance to cracking and warping. <br><br>Veneers are ‘peeled’ off a timber log to a precise thickness, and laminated together with other veneers, typically at different orientations to provide increased strength and stability. They are bonded with urea formaldehyde or a water-resistant glue such as phenol formaldehyde. <br><br>Plywood is available in a variety of grades, and timber species. These include high grade interior plywood, formply, exterior/marine grade plywood, and structural plywood. 2019-11-20 05:31:30 Embodied energy Embodied carbon Embodied greenhouse gas emissions Embodied water Input-output analysis Construction Building Materials Environmental performance Life cycle assessment LCA Database Process analysis Australia Hybrid analysis Life cycle inventory LCI Concrete block Cement mortar Portland cement Autoclaved aerated concrete (AAC) Concrete 20 MPa Concrete 25 MPa Concrete 32 MPa Concrete 40 MPa Concrete 50 MPa Fibre cement sheet Fibre cement weatherboard Gypsum plaster Plasterboard - 10 mm Concrete roof tile Flat glass Double glazing - flat glass Laminated glass Toughened glass Double glazing - toughened glass Cellulose insulation Aluminium foil insulation Glasswool insulation Rockwool insulation Polystyrene (EPS/XPS) insulation Polyurethane (PU) rigid foam insulation Aluminium bar Aluminium composite panel Aluminium extruded Aluminium sheet Copper sheet Copper pipe Copper wire Cold rolled stainless steel Stainless steel extruded Stainless steel sheet Stainless steel wire Cold rolled steel Hot rolled galvanised structural steel Hot rolled structural steel Steel bar Steel hollow section extruded Steel pipe Steel sheet corrugated Asphalt Nylon carpet Wool carpet Silicone Water Wood glue (PVA) Solar hot water system Solvent-based paint Water-based paint Wallpaper Natural rubber Synthetic rubber High-density polyethylene (HDPE) film High-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) pipe Nylon 66 Acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene (ETFE) Glass reinforced plastic (GRP) Linoleum Polycarbonate Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) Polypropylene (PP) sheet Polyurethane (PU) flexible foam Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film Unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) Clay brick Gravel Recycled aggregate Sand Sanitary ceramic Dimension stone Ceramic tile Clay roof tile Cork slab Hardwood Cross laminated timber (CLT) Glued laminated timber (glulam) Laminated veneer lumber (LVL) MDF sheet OSB sheet Particleboard Plywood Building Science and Techniques
