Walnut (Plain Sliced) Scientific name: Juglans nigra

• Paper Backed: veneers are real wood veneer permanently bonded to a paper backing.  The backing is usually 10 mil thick or about 1/64" non removable paper.
• Tech³ (WOW- wood on wood): For applications that require both dimensional stability and flexibility, no other veneer can match Tech³ from Veneer Tech. That's because our premium 2-ply sheet is manufactured with a select grade face veneer cross-linked bonded to a whole piece cross grain backer. This combination creates a thick, solid veneer with a natural looking edge.
• Tek-Bak: Veneer that has been bonded to a poly backer similar to phenolic but thinner and more flexible. Tek-bak veneers pre-finish as well as phenolic back and with a lower cost.
• Phenolic: Veneer that has been bonded to a phenolic backer which gives a ridged solid substrate for finishing and gluing. Phenolic backers contour more smoothly around curves and are ideal for irregular or bump surfaces.  Applications is similar to plastic laminates.
• PSA: Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) veneer is a type of paperbacked veneer that is a simple and easy alternative for applying veneer without the need for a liquid adhesive. Utilizing 3M™ adhesives, PSA veneer provides a permanent bond to any smooth substrate that is dry and free of dust and contaminants. PSA-backed veneer is the perfect choice for cabinet refacing.
