- The material is light and tough
To evaluate the quality of wood, bulk density, and strength are important standards. The higher the strength is, the lighter the bulk density is. Paulownia wood is one of the lightest wood on the earth. Its air-dry density is 0.23-0.40 g / cm3, which is about 40% lighter than ordinary wood. Its biggest advantage is that it is light and tough.
- No warping, no deformation
Because of its small coefficient of shrinkage, the trees do not bend and do not warp, and are not deformed.
- Moisture-proof
The dried tung tree is not easy to absorb moisture and moisture and has a high degree of preservation.
- Fire resistance
The thermal conductivity of Paulownia wood is smaller than other ones. Generally, the combustion point of wood is about 270 degrees, and the burning point of Paulownia wood is 425 degrees, which is a rare feature.
- Wear resistance
Although the Paulownia wood is light, it is not easy to wear. The Paulownia wood is used as an air box, and the pull rod is worn back and forth, but the box plate is not easy to wear.
- Beautiful texture and bright color
Paulownia wood has a bright, beautiful, and delicate texture with silk, and the natural pattern is very good. - Strong sound guidance
Paulownia wood is indispensable for making musical instruments. Regardless of weather changes, it can stabilize the timbre, so it is called “Qing Tong”. For example, Yangqin, Pipa, Liuqin, and even Qinhu are all made of paulownia. - Easy to carve and dye
Paulownia wood is not easy to split, but the wood is soft, easy to process, easy to carve, and easy to dye. It can be used as a beam, purlin, door and window, ceiling, tile board, room partition, and so on. Paulownia Core Plywood is used for Caravan/RV/Touring Car/Camper Vans Interiors, as well as Furniture Applications.
