Zero ThinPly contains no added formaldehyde, phenolic compounds, or urea. This meets customers’ growing demand for a broader range of fully bio-based material options. The bio-bonded thin plywood is intended for indoor use, for example in laser-cut design products such as lamps, jewelry, and various interior decoration items. It is particularly well-suited for indoor air-critical applications, where strict formaldehyde emission limits apply.

Non-toxic adhesive
The new plant-based adhesive is non-toxic and shows virtually no difference in strength compared to traditional adhesives. Strength values achieved in dry conditions for the bio-bonded Zero ThinPly match those of conventionally bonded products. Plantics developed the adhesive used in Zero ThinPly in collaboration with Koskisen, tailored to their product requirements.
