Alcan Composites’ veneer business – also known as the Uniwood® business – introduced Gator-Ply, the original specialty engineered man-made wood-fiber veneer, to the furniture market more than 30 years ago. Since then craftsmen of residential furniture, office furniture, cabinets and retail-store display fixtures have come to rely upon the company’s high-quality wood-fiber veneer products – backed by outstanding customer and technical service – to lower manufacturing costs, simplify the manufacturing process and enhance furniture, cabinet and retail-store display fixture quality. This new literature describes Alcan Composites’ three lines of premiere wood-fiber veneer products for use in three-ply and five-ply panel construction, including: Gator-Ply® Backer. Gator-Ply backers are low formaldehyde specialty engineered man-made wood-fiber veneers that are impregnated with a proprietary resin system. Gator-Ply backers are used as a balancing medium in both three-ply and five-ply panel construction. Original Gator-Ply is available as a rigid sheet. Gator-Ply Flexible is a flexible sheet designed to meet the unique handling needs of smaller shop owners. Gator-Ply Enviro-Backer™ is an economic alternative to conventional wood veneers and high-pressure laminates that is manufactured with no added formaldehyde. Gator-Ply Enviro-Backer has been awarded GREENGUARD Certification, which signifies that this product is in compliance with the stringent emission guidelines set by the Atlanta-based GREENGUARD Environmental Institute. Syn-Ply® Crossband. Syn-Ply, the original specialty engineered synthetic crossband, is impregnated with a proprietary resin system that allows it to be used successfully in five-ply panel construction. Syn-Ply crossband is a better alternative to poplar crossband in both residential and office furniture applications. Luxcell® Backer/Facer. Luxcell facers are specialty engineered man-made wood-fiber veneers impregnated with a proprietary resin system. Luxcell products can be used as a backing material and/or facer in both three-ply and five-ply panel construction and can be painted and printed by the furniture manufacturer.
