Explanation:
Plyboard och plywood är synonyma uttryck i engelskan.
se t.ex. http://encyclopedia.farlex.com/plyboard som omdirigerar så att artikeln "plywood" kommer upp om man söker efter "plyboard"

I svenskan använder vi uteslutande plywood (kryssfaner).
Plywood tillverkas av tunna träfaner som limmas kryssvis (kryssfaner) och får inte blandas ihop med spånskiva, vilket är en skiva som tillverkas av sågspån, alltså en helt annan produkt än plywood.

Since plyboard and plywood appear to be synonyms in English, plywood may be a better translation to use in Swedish, since it is a more widely used term

Although from yahoo:

What's the difference between a plywood and a plyboard?

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

Plywood is thin layers of wood peeled off a log, glued together, and dried under pressure. Plyboard is made from wood chips coated with glue and dried into the board shape.

Plywood is stronger, water resistant (with the right glue) , and more attractive to look at whether painted or stained..

Maybe it is better to keep plywood and plyboard as separate concepts also in Swedish.

Another reference, more closely related to the industry:

Osteraas J. Structural potential of a Douglas-fir veneered urea-bonded extruded particleboard
(‘plyboard’). U.S. Forest Products Laboratory Internal Report, 1974.

Link: http://www.exponent.com/files/Attorney/b2224cd8-457a-4dae-99...

Establishes a connection between particleboard and plyboard

Reference from manufacturer, with images:

http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://img.tradeindia...

The images show that:

plain particleboard has no veneer

plyboard is a particleboard with veneer



--------------------------------------------------
Note added at 2 hrs (2010-03-01 18:44:30 GMT)
--------------------------------------------------

Using the Osteraas reference it seems that plyboard is veneered particleboard, which is also supported by the manufacturer image reference.

This seems to suggest the following translation:

English
plyboard
Swedish
fanerad spånskiva

A Google search on "fanerad spånskiva" gives a more healthy number of hits.

Also, Swedish image references for "fanerad spånskiva" supports this concept.

neutral  larserik: Det lutar åt spånskiva
1 hr
  -> Tack lars-erik! Jag tror du har rätt att det börjar luta åt spånplatta eller spånskiva (som nog är vanligare). Dessutom tror jag "veneered particleboard" = "plyboard" enl. referensen ovan. Jag kommer att lägga till några bildreferenser som visar detta.

disagree  Anna Herbst: Yahooreferencen bör nog tas med en nypa salt - en anonym röst för ett anonymt förslag! Vad gäller den indiska referensen ställer jag mig frågande till din slutsats. Fanerad spånskiva översätts veneered chipboard. Ply = skikt, här limmade träskikt.
