Insulated Reinforced Wood - Wood Light
Thermosetting resin laminate reinforced with "cellulose full fiber"
"Woodlight" is a type of plywood or laminated veneer lumber (LVL). It is made by impregnating thin sheets of wood (veneer) that have been peeled in a "katsura" style with phenolic resin, and then pressing them together under high temperature and high pressure in a specified number of layers. Recently, cellulose nanofibers have been gaining attention, but "Woodlight" is a unique FRP board reinforced with natural wood, meaning it is made from full-size cellulose.
basic information
Woodlight was developed in 1950. Due to its excellent insulation performance and strength, it has gained popularity as an insulating material for special high-voltage electrical equipment such as circuit breakers and transformers, supporting the post-war recovery of Rishō Industries. Although it may not have the same momentum as in its heyday, it is still a long-selling product that continues to receive strong support even as it approaches 70 years since its launch.

Applications/Examples of results
○ A fairly large insulator that requires strength. ○ An insulator used in oil. ○ Insulating rods for live line tools. ○ Parts that cannot use metal and require strength. ○ When general wood lacks both hardness and strength, and a uniform material is required. ○ When cut at an appropriate angle, a textured contour pattern appears. This can be utilized for artistic purposes.
