Bamboo Laminate is a beam / board consisting of a transverse bamboo structure with adhesive tied by certain. Bamboo laminate has a higher strength than ordinary beams, because the manufacturing process the bamboo is already sorted in advance to reduce the portion that is not good. If bamboo during this round and there is a cavity or hole in it big enough, but the bamboo laminate has a very different shape, which is like a wooden plank size can be made even wider again as plywood boards, plywood or other similar material.
This technology is actually making bamboo laminate is not so much different from the material making industrial production factories. Bamboo is still intact and cleaved so many parts smoothed by means beaten using a specific tool to transform into a fiber. Subsequently these fibers are mixed with other materials such as resin, glue and some sort of adhesive or other hardening agent then pressed using the machine. Then be laminated bamboo that looks similar to wood or plywood
The bamboo laminates wood when compared with precisely the compressive better and not easily broken or popped like plywood or plywood material. This is because making use of bamboo is still intact. Unlike the other press materials using basic materials of wood, before the sheets should be cut into small pieces before anyone even made porridge. So his strength was not optimal
Even after conducting an investigation, laminated bamboo can also be used as construction materials such as wood to make though is not the main construction. But now there are several parties who conduct experiments and research to make the bamboo laminate again become more powerful so that it can be used as the main structure of the building.
Because its use has not been so popular, bamboo laminate technology is also only produced in limited quantities only in accordance with the order. Width, length, and thickness can also be customized with the buyer or buyer. Because it is still a lot of makers or manufacturers that provide only based on incoming orders only, so it has not been made in bulk.
But in China the country that also earned the nickname as the bamboo curtain country, the use of this material has begun to increase. There even are interested in making it as one of the large-scale industry that can be produced in large numbers and mass, but in a shorter time.
