CDX Structural Plywood
Structural Plywood has been manufactured at our plant in China, for in excess of 15 years and has been used successfully in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
Structual plywood for strong, stable. Structural Plywood has been manufactured at our plant in China, for in excess of 15 years and has been used successfully in Asia, Australia and New Zealand.
For domestic and light commercial structural and decorative applications manufactures structural plywood in a range of widths, lengths, thicknesses and grades to AS/NZS2269 from Newzealand and Russia-sourced plantation Radiata Pine and Larch. Products are certified by Certmark.
Structural plywood is for use in all permanent structural and engineered applications.
A Bond is durable and permanent under conditions of full weather exposure and long-term stress.
Structural plywood should be preservative-treated to ensure it lasts its full-service life as it is manufactured from a range of hardwood and softwood timber species.
For termite and rot resistance, plywood can be treated to H2, H3 or H4 standards. Or for a lower-cost alternative can be manufactured with a bifenthrin glue line additive which provides termite resistance but is only suitable for use south of the tropic of Capricorn.
Testing and certification are carried out by Certemark International (CMI) and DNV.

Introduction
CDX Structural Plywood is a type of plywood that is commonly used in construction projects throughout North America. The name “CDX” refers to the quality of the plywood, with “C” representing the front surface of the plywood and “D” representing the back surface. The “X” indicates that the plywood is intended for exterior use.
CDX Structural Plywood is made from multiple layers of wood veneer that are glued together with each layer’s grain running perpendicular to the previous layer. This cross-grain construction provides strength and stability to the plywood, making it suitable for use in load-bearing applications. The plywood is typically made from softwood species such as pine, fir, or spruce.
CDX Structural Plywood is designed to be strong and durable, making it suitable for use in load-bearing applications such as walls, roofs, and subfloors. It is also treated to be resistant to moisture and rot, making it suitable for use in humid or damp environments. CDX Structural Plywood is available in various thicknesses, ranging from 1/4 inch to 1 inch or more, and is widely available from lumber and building supply stores throughout North America.
