RockPly® - Enter the new era in plywood

What is RockPly®?

RockPly® is the latest innovation in plywood technology, achieving groundbreaking strength and performance characteristics through the process of blending mineral fibre with traditional birch plywood construction.

 Key Features of RockPly®      

  • Double the Strength: RockPly® demonstrates double the durability, surpassing standard birch plywood, previously considered the most durable option.
  • Lightweight yet Durable: Advanced engineering reduces structural weight while maintaining resistance to industrial and highly demanding external conditions.
  • Water and Alkali Resistance: Designed to withstand moisture, exposure to water, alkalis, and challenging environmental conditions.
  • Support for Sustainable Development: Thanks to very low VOC emissions, responsibly sourced materials and reduced carbon footprint in every application, RockPly® supports sustainability both through its properties and its positive impact on the eco-friendliness of applications.
  • Fire Resistance: Increased thermal resistance with delayed ignition thanks to rock fibre technology. Fire reaction class Bfl-s1.
  • Top Bonding Quality: Certified to Class 3 under EN 314-2, ensuring excellent durability in external conditions.

Industrial Application Example.

RockPly® is particularly suited to HGV trailer floors, offering a notable weight reduction without compromising performance. Based on a large HGV trailer RockPly® offers the following:-

  •  Unmatched Strength: With its patented technology combining rock fibres with birch veneers, RockPly® offers twice the strength of standard plywood, enhancing dimensional stability while reducing material weight by up to 250 kg per application.
  •  Cost Efficiency: Each trailer equipped with a RockPly® floor reduces fuel consumption, saving up to £4,000 over five years. Additionally, increased payload capacity by 250 kg per trailer can generate annual savings of £850 to £1,700 per vehicle, ensuring a return on investment within six to twelve months for fleet operators.
  • Sustainability at its Core: RockPly® reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 50 to 75 kg per trailer annually. Manufactured from responsibly sourced wood, RockPly® provides a CO2 saving equivalent to the annual absorption of 200 to 300 trees for a fleet of 100 trailers.
