Usage and Features of Marine Plywood

by Ankita Sehgal Freelance Blogger, Lives in New Delhi
Standard or structural plywood used for making ships, boats, hulls of the boat, and other such applications is known as marine plywood. Compared to usual plywood, marine plywood has a waterproof adhesive that prevents water droplets from staining the surface of the plywood. It is lightweight and flexible which makes it ideal to be used for making any flooring for domestic as well as marine purposes. Although it is made using only the highest quality of wood, its prices are quite affordable. It is important to ensure that no core gaps are left while preparing it so as to avoid water infiltration and prevent the plywood from weakening. Veneering of marine plywood is done in a way that lends a glossy finish to its exterior.  The thicker the veneers are, the more durable the plywood will be. Equipped to handle any amount of moisture, marine or waterproof plywood is ideal to be used in areas with high humidity such as bathrooms. 

Unique Features of Marine Plywood:
 
The undiluted phenolic resin used to bind the piles together in marine plywood is a synthetic plastic resin which lends the marine plywood its waterproof capabilities. While normal wood can easily be affected by water and rot in its presence, marine plywood is made in a way that ensures the integrity of your appliance remains intact. The surface of marine plywood is completely pore-less that leaves no chance of water sipping in. Marine plywood is also stronger than commercial grade plywood owing to the superior quality wood and glue used in its making. 
 
Pliability is another striking feature of marine plywood. Therefore, it can be used for building almost anything including flush door When compared to other types of plywood, marine plywood is also easier to shape. No matter how much you shape or bend marine plywood, its structural integrity is still retained. Unlike other types of average plywood, marine plywood is also more pressure resistant and difficult to break. The hard exterior of marine plywood is also scratch-resistant.  These were a few reasons why it is used to make boats, and other such appliances. It has a smooth surface finish and can be painted easily. Marine plywood is available in different grades. If you wish to buy marine plywood for places that are subjected to constant moisture, make sure to buy the highest grade possible. Also, choose a reliable manufacturer such as Archidply, who can be trusted upon for quality. They have state of the art technology and the latest equipment to get you the best plywood and laminates in the country.
