BWR Plywood
BWR Plywood
Boiling Water Resistant (BWR Grade-Phenol Bonded) Plywood
Sitco ply BWR Plywood is bonded with high Quality Phenol Formaldehyde Resin. It is the only one of its kind to be made by pre-pressing, where each veneer is treated with preservatives prior to pressing, ensuring uniform distribution of moisture and adhesive. The result is a high quality ply that can resist boiling water , cold water, climate variations, powder and termite attacks. It does not delaminate even when immersed in boiling water for more than Eight hours. It is ideal for use in hot, humid and moist locations.
Areas of Application
Ideal for Exterior and Interior applications like Furniture and Fixtures, Woodwork in Kitchens and Bathrooms.
