Insulation reinforced laminated wood "WOODLYTE"
70 years long-seller
WOODLYTE is the laminated wood made of Phenolic resin impregnated veneers
|

▲ WOODLYTE |
WOODLYTE is used for the following applications for more than 70 years.
|
Applications
- Rather large insulation parts required of mechanical strength.
- Insulation parts installed in oil
- Shaft of Live-line tools.
- Mechanical parts which must not be made of metal , and must have enough strength.
- In the case when general wood material can not meet hardness and strength requirement , or when must meet homogeneity requirement.
- Craft work which make use of woodgrain appearance of WOODLYTE.

▲Shaft of disconnect stick |

▲Disconnect bar of circuir breaker |
Properties
- Both Insulating property and Mechanical strength do not decay not only in Oil but also in the Air.
- Even after water soaking treatment ,insulating resistance recovers soon ,and further delamination ,warpage, or crack do not appear.
- Compared with Oil-impregnated-wood or Paraffin-impregnated- wood,so far excellent in Insulating property.
- With homogeneity of composition ,Mechanical strength or Water resistance is stable compared to the above wood.
- Excellent in Humidity,Heat and Chemical resistance.
- Buff finish gives graceful glaze to Wood grain appearance.

Classification
WOODLYTE has a couple of types of products,"SS-type and AS-type",according to the way how veneers are laminated as follows.
SS-type |
AS-type |

(Laminated Veneer Lumber) |

(Plywood) |

▲AS-type (Top) and SS-type(Bottom)
|
Round bar,Square bar or Long products are made by machining SS-type board.
WOODLYTE SS-tube ,which is made by winding SS-type board along grain direction ,is also available.
WOODLYTE SS-type board has the merit of being made into large area product and also has quality stability which is unaffected by grain directions.

Properties |
WL-4001
WL-4005
(SS-type) |
Veneers are laminated in the same direction of wood grain one after another.
WOODLYTE bar and WOODLYTE tube (WL-4003) are made on the same method as decribed avove.
Specific gravity of WL-4001 is 1.2、and WL-4005 is 1.0. |
WL-4002
WL-4006
(AS-type) |
Veneers are laminated in each direction of wood grain one after the other.
AS-type products has the same performance in each (Length / Width ) direction
Large area products are available.
Specific gravity of WL-4002 is 1.2, and WL-4006 is 1.0. |
WL-4003
(SS-type Tube) |
WOODLYTE SS-tube which is made by winding SS-type board along grain direction.
Specific gravity is 1.1。 |
WL-4231
(SS-type Round bar) |
