在产品的介绍里,拉特兰胶合板公司是这样形容这个材质的,At the heart of Stratabond® laminated hardwoods is a proprietary lamination process that creates an unusually powerful bond; a bond that makes for endurance and beauty in finished products.这段话可以这样解读,这个Stratabond合成硬木夹板的黏合强度很大(creates an unusually powerful bond),而且有着很好的耐用性和美观,a proprietary lamination process指的是其纹理过程,简单点说就是用黏合性很强的胶水外加硬木合成的,给它做了个类似原木的纹路,让它外观看起来显得美感点。
在维基百科上英文的注释是这样:Richlite is a phenolic resin / cellulose compound material produced by Richlite Company. Like other phenolic resin / cellulose compound material it is a dense material made from partially recycled paper and phenolic resin. The paper is soaked in phenolic resin, then molded and baked into net shape in a heated form or press.
Originally distributed as a commercial kitchen surface in the 1950s, it has recently been adapted for use in skateboard parks as well as various other applications, such as residential counters, fiberglass cores and limited architectural applications.
简单的说,Richlite实际上就是用再生纸和酚醛树脂合成的一种人造材料,早在1950年代开始就已经被用在家庭橱柜的台面或者其他家居建筑领域。
最后总结下,Martin的低端吉他在配置上所用的材料中有三种人造合成材质,分别为背&侧 HPL,琴颈 Rust Stratabond,指板&琴桥 Black Richlite。
