marine plywood

Marine plywood is a high-quality, waterproof plywood designed for marine applications, such as boat building and repair, dock construction, and coastal furniture and fixtures. BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) and BWP (Boiling Water Proof) are two grades of Marine plywood.

Water Resistent

BWR GRADE

Made with phenol-formaldehyde (PF) resin, BWR (Boiling Water Resistant) grade plywood is a type of plywood that meets the Indian Standard (IS) 303 specification. Suitable for interior applications with moderate moisture exposure, such as furniture making, interior paneling, and kitchens and bathrooms, and can withstand boiling water for up to 8 hours.

BWR plywood is made from phenolic resins and treated with chemicals to make it more resistant to warping, swelling, termites, and borers. It’s also warp-free and has cohesive bonding. 

I would recommend BWR grade plywood to anyone looking for a reliable and affordable option for interior projects with moderate moisture exposure. Just be aware of its limitations and don't use it for exterior or high-moisture applications.

BWP GRADE

 BWP grade plywood meets Indian Standard (IS) 710 specification and is suitable for exterior and high-moisture applications, such as exterior furniture, boat building, and high-moisture areas, and can withstand boiling water for an extended duration (up to 24 hours). BWP grade is made with melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) resin, making it more durable and water-resistant.

BWP (Boiling Water Proof) plywood is made with phenolic resin, a synthetic plastic resin, to bond hardwood veneers together. 

BWP plywood's exceptional water resistance, durability, and stability make it an ideal choice for demanding projects. Its resistance to rot and insect damage is unparalleled, and its ability to withstand harsh weather conditions is a significant advantage. I appreciate the consistency and reliability of BWP plywood, which enables me to design and build with confidence. Its workability and ease of installation also make it a favorite among contractors and builders.
