TRP – B/BB
There are no significant defects allowed on the faces of the panels. Minor defects are skilfully repaired with colour matched filler. Very minor core voids and end splits are allowed and skilfully repaired.
21st century product innovation making a positive contribution to the net zero agenda.
Over recent years, high-grade tropical supply from regions such as Malaysia, Indonesia and even China has reduced significantly or have disappeared in many cases, outlining the urgent need for long term sustainable sources.
Under development for over a decade, LUMIN TRP plywood panels directly address this challenge – giving the wood products industry access to a sustainable supply of product from a source which also makes a positive contribution to the net zero agenda.
Combined with beautiful aesthetics, LUMIN TRP compares well in technical properties and features to many of the tropical species.
LUMIN TRP is produced from 100% plantation grown pruned Eucalyptus Grandis. The pruning process completed during the growth phase of the tree ensures very limited defects in the final veneer. This is a hardwood plywood that looks and performs very similar to tropical species, and critically has product and forest certification to back up its strong credentials. This includes EN 13986 (CE2+), for use in construction and structural applications in Europe, certified by Element BV (Netherlands) and BS EN 13986:2004 + A1:2015 (UKCA) certified by BM TRADA (UK). LUMIN TRP also complies with the E1 standard for emissions in Europe, adheres to the air quality standards required by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) and complies with the emission of formaldehyde required by the US EPA TSCA Title VI. Finally, the TRP product range underpins our commitment to responsible forest management and 100% of our forest plantations are FSC® certified (License Number FSC-C162602) and utilizing thin peel technology also allows better optimization of eucalyptus grandis logs.
The use of Eucalyptus Grandis results in TRP panels with a rich pink/red coloured wood that is sought after in many markets and is aesthetically similar to scarce high-end tropical species such as Meranti and Okoume.
