Panzerholz
Panzerholz was originally a term from the time of the Wehrmacht and at that time referred to plywood covered with sheet metal on the outside and partially inside . This armored wood, which is particularly insensitive to transport, was primarily used by the Wehrmacht to protect sensitive measuring and testing devices such as the RPG 4/3 tube tester from the manufacturer Bittdorf & Funke in Weida / Thuringia and ammunition boxes made of armored wood in the years 1918 to 1945.
Today armored wood is also used as a synonym for the terms synthetic resin pressed wood or pressed wood. Armored wood is also used to manufacture bulletproof and more burglar-resistant doors, partitions and cladding. The raw density of 900 to 1,400 kg / m³ of the armored timber used has metal-like strength values , is extremely resilient, abrasion-resistant and has a high level of fire resistance .
Armored timber covered on both sides with thin aluminum or brass sheet is often used in wagon construction.
