Abstract: In the field of wood materials, magnesium oxychloride cementitious materials represent a new type of environmentally friendly, formaldehyde-free adhesive that establishes basic strength with wood through specific physical adsorption and chemical bonding. However, due to the poor water resistance of magnesium oxychloride cementitious materials and the filtration effect of wood units, the bonding strength is relatively weak. Optimizing preparation involves adjusting the raw material ratios and processes, as well as incorporating modifiers to enhance the performance of magnesium oxychloride cementitious materials. When applied to wood veneer, plywood benefits from properties such as fire resistance and insect resistance. Following modification, it exhibits high water-resistant bonding performance; however, challenges remain, including moisture absorption, brine return, and interface compatibility, which require further improvement. This article reviews various aspects of magnesium oxychloride cementitious materials for plywood, to promote further development and optimized applications in the plywood industry.
