Sarkar Plywood Rubber Wood
WOOD USAGE
Wood has been used by us for a very long time for construction and other purposes. Forests were the main source of wood. As the world’s population grows, so does the demand for wood. With the industrial revolution, the demand went further up. Indiscriminate deforestation is causing global warming symptoms such as melting polar ice, increasing sea levels, draughts, and subsequent catastrophes. With the advancement in Science and Technology, several alternate materials like metals, plastics, and composites with improved strength and working properties were developed. Yet, none of them had the same feel as wood, and it was determined that there is no true substitute for wood. The continued search for wood led to the utilisation of secondary species of wood like rubber wood, a plantation timber.
HEVEA BRASILIENSE
The natural rubber tree, is the most important commercial source of natural rubber, and it is grown on about 9 million hectares in the tropical regions of Asia, Africa, and America. With over 5,30,000 ha under rubber, India is now the third largest producer of natural rubber in the world.
At the age of 22 to 29 years, latex production becomes uneconomic, and the trees are then cut down and replanted. Thus, the rubber plantation is a sustainable source of rubber as well as timber, contributing positively to the environment.
In India, rubber is predominantly a small-holders’ crop, and over 87% of the rubber comes from this sector. A rubber tree from a small holding will have about 0.57 (20 CFT) of timber, and the yield per hectare is about 150 (5295 CFT). The stem wood has a timber value of only 60%. The present total availability of rubber wood is estimated at 0.94 million /yr. and it is estimated to be 1.5 /year by the end of the decade.
Rubberwood - is wood from the Pará rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliense), often called the rubber tree.
Rubberwood, also called parawood, is used in high-end furniture. It is valued for its dense grain, minimal shrinkage, attractive color, and acceptance of different finishes. It is also prized as an “environmentally friendly” wood, as it makes use of trees that have been cut down at the end of their latex-producing cycle.
Rubberwood is one of the most misunderstood wood species in the furniture industry. The term “rubberwood” invokes a variety of misconceptions as to its features and its durability. Rubberwood (also known as Parawood in South-East Asia) is the common name for Hevea Brasiliense timber.
Rubberwood, in fact, is one of the most durable lumbers used in the manufacturing of today’s home furnishings. Rubberwood, a member of the maple family, has a dense grain character that is easily controlled during the kiln drying process. Rubberwood has very little shrinkage, making it one of the more stable construction materials available for furniture manufacturing.
Like maple, rubberwood is a sap-producing species. In the case of maple, it is syrup; in the case of rubberwood, it is latex. Rubberwood produces all the latex used in the world for all rubber-based products.
There is one more feature of rubberwood that is very important in today’s world. Rubberwood is the most ecologically “friendly” lumber used in today’s furniture industry. After the economic life of the rubber tree, which is generally 26-30 years, the latex yields become extremely low and the planters then fell the rubber trees and plant new ones. So, unlike other woods that are cut down for the sole purpose of producing furniture, rubberwood is used only after it completes its latex producing cycle and dies. This wood is therefore eco-friendly in the sense that we are now using what was going to waste.
This eco-friendly Rubber wood (Hevea Brasiliense) is an excellent timber to use, and its various attributes are outlined here.
Pale cream to yellowish brown. Oxidative discoloration can be limited by rapid production sequence and vacuum drying.
Mostly straight. A cross section of rubber wood shows a few concentric markings reminiscent of growth rings. These markings, combined with the large vessels in their structure, give an attractive appe arance with clear patterns on the longitudinal surface. Many characteristics of rubber wood are similar to those of ramin wood.
Uniform in structure with an excellent Timber feel.
