Tiny holes in your furniture, mysterious piles of sawdust… these are the unwelcome calling cards of wood-boring insects. Borers can damage your furniture and even compromise the structural integrity of your home. But, our plywood is borer-proof.
Let’s dive into the reasons. But, before that let’s see what exactly are these pests, and how can you protect your investments from their destructive habits.
What are Borers?
Borers are insects that tunnel through wood to create nesting sites and lay eggs. They weaken the wood and can cause structural damage, leaving behind telltale signs like small holes and sawdust.
How are Borers and Termites Different?
While both can damage wood, borers and termites are distinct insects.
Termites primarily eat cellulose, a component in wood, and can quickly destroy entire structures.
Borers, however, primarily tunnel through wood for nesting and breeding, causing structural damage but not necessarily consuming the entire wood.
What Makes Afyun Plywood Borer-proof?
Afyun’s plywood boasts impressive resistance to borers thanks to a multi-layered approach:
Chemical Treatment
We employ a chemical treatment process.
Each layer of wood undergoes rigorous chemical treatment in boiling water before drying, eliminating existing borers and deterring future ones.
Additionally, the glue line receives a specific treatment for further protection.
High-quality Timber
Afyun doesn’t just rely on chemicals. We use premium wood varieties known for their natural resistance to borers, including:
- Gurjan: This dense and oily hardwood is unappealing to borers.
- Neem: Possessing natural insecticidal properties, neem repels borers and other insects.
- Eucalyptus: This fast-growing and strong wood contains natural oils that deter borers.
Advanced Press Technology
Finally, we utilize a four-step press technology to ensure optimal bonding and prevent the creation of voids within the plywood.
These voids can become breeding grounds for borers, and Afyun’s technology eliminates this risk.
Conclusion
By combining these strategies, we create plywood highly resistant to borer attacks.
This not only protects your furniture and structures but also ensures their longevity, saving you from costly repairs and replacements.
So, next time you’re looking for plywood, consider Afyun’s borer-proof options for lasting peace of mind.
