What makes Marine ply so strong and water resistant, is the use of excellent quality wood veneers for making the plywood, and the use of un-extended (meaning undiluted) phenolic resins. The resin Phenol formaldehyde is in fact a synthetic plastic resin, and that greatly increases the water proofing quality of Marine plywood. Marine grade plywood is of an even better quality than BWR grade and used in conditions where the plywood is sure to get a prolonged exposure to extreme weather conditions such as even being submerged in water. It is the ideal choice for building ships, boats and other such marine applications.
