SUPER-Harborite is the trade name oI a phenol product composed oI a fir plywood core and phenol type resin-impregnated libre laces. The composite panel is weatherprool and boilprool. The libre surlacing is hard and smooth. The brown color is pleasing, and there is no appearance oI wood grain. The high strength-weight ratio oI SUPER-Harborite is an important value, as is its workability. Panels may be worked with hand or power tools and may be Iastened with nails, screws, bolts or glue. For decorative or other Iinishes the surlace has an affinity lor a wide variety oI paints, varnishes, lacguers, and other coat- rtt:, ings. For practical design pur- i poses the same strength values : may be used as lor Douglas fir i
Standard libre facing is 65/65. Panels with additional fibre lacing may be ordered special. For example, 130/130: an increase of 65 pounds ol surfacing per M leet to each face.. I plywood oI like thickness and construction. Construction details as used with plywood are likewise practical in the use oI SUPER-Harborite.
In the manulacture of SUPER-Harborite, normal plywood manulacturing pressures are used lor bonding; hence ihere is no appreciable compression oI the component veneers, thus avoiding the hazard oI a tendency oI thickness regain lrom weathering or moisture conditions.
