Embrace the exquisite beauty of BWP Grade Plywood, transforming your space into a haven of elegance.
Earlier various methods were used to protect wood such as oils from pests and insects. Then the 20th century witnessed advancement in wood manufacturing with the introduction of formaldehyde resins which enhanced the durability and water resistant quality of plywood. Then to withstand prolonged exposure to water, BWR plywood has been manufactured.
which is better BWR plywood or BWP plywood? It is very simple BWR plywood can withstand exposure to water to some extent but more than MR plywood but lesser than BWP plywood. BWP plywood- Boiling waterproof plywood can withstand exposure to water to a very large extent.
BWP plywood is more popular and has multiple applications in various sectors.
The manufacturing process of Chopra’s BWP plywood is highly advanced which enhances termite resistance and Glue line protection has been implemented. The glues that are used to hold the wood veneers together are melamine or phenolic glue. The BWP plywood that is glued with normal melamine can withstand water for up to 4- 8 hours. Phenolic glue is the best if you need delamination for up to 24 hours.
