Strand Process Mixing strands of bamboo with a low-VOC adhesive, Plyboo¨ Strandª is manufactured using high levels of compression. With all strips oriented in the same direction, the shredded bamboo mass is thrashed and then, under extreme pressure, compressed by 75 percent to yield high-density planks. After a kiln-drying and milling process the planks are sanded and finished, giving them their trademark Plyboo¨ Strandª look.
