Rubber Wood Finger Joint

RUBBER WOOD FINGER JOINT

I - What is the Rubber wood finger joint?

Rubber wood finger joint refers to the process of joining rubber wood pallets using modern technology to create larger boards. Rubber wood is obtained from rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) and is only harvested after the latex extraction cycle of the trees is complete, usually after 30 years. It is a light-colored medium-density tropical hardwood. Nowadays, rubber wood is sourced from re-cultivated private and state-owned rubber plantations. Rubber wood is highly valued for its thick grain, light color, attractive wavy veins, and versatility. It is considered an ideal substitute for expensive and increasingly scarce types of wood.
