Sandwich panel (soundproofing)
Compensati toro

This plywood, commercially named "TORO/Aphonos", consists of Beech veneers, either homogeneous or mixed with other wood species. Moreover, the core of the panel is made of a special rubber-cork sheet, characterized of a fit to purposes density, which functions as an acoustic barrier.
Upon request it is possible to realize the product with exterior layers on other wood-based panels like, for instance, Okoumé plywood, chipboard or mdf.
This plywood is generally produced with resin coated surfaces (presenting one side smooth and one antislipping) and a bonding resistant to humid conditions. Panels with surfaces showing two smooth sides or made with flame retarding treated faces are also available.
The panels are particularly suited for applications such as ceiling, dividers and light floors or walls and other components, when the reduction of noise is an important requirement.
