At Hong Wen Hardware Timber Pte Ltd, we offer high-quality waterproof plywood designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, ensuring durability and longevity in both indoor and outdoor applications. Our waterproof plywood options include Weather and Boil Proof (WBP) Plywood and Marine Plywood, each engineered for different levels of moisture resistance and strength.
Weather and Boil Proof (WBP) Plywood
WBP plywood is specially manufactured to endure weather exposure, high humidity, and intermittent contact with water. The term WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) signifies that the plywood is bonded with water-resistant adhesives, allowing it to maintain its structural integrity even in extreme conditions.
Key Features:
- Water and Weather Resistance – Resistant to rain, humidity, and temperature changes, making it ideal for outdoor applications.
- Strong Adhesive Bond – Uses melamine or phenolic resin glue, ensuring high durability. Premium phenolic glue can withstand boiling water for up to 72 hours without delaminating.
- Multi-Layer Construction – Made from high-quality wood veneers, laid in alternating grain directions for enhanced strength and stability.
Common Applications:
- Exterior Construction – House building, shelters, roofing, and container flooring.
- Concrete Shuttering – Used in formwork for pouring concrete structures.
- Outdoor Furniture & Covers – Ideal for making weather-resistant furniture and protective coverings.
Marine Plywood
Marine plywood is a high-grade plywood designed for continuous exposure to moisture. It is manufactured with superior hardwood veneers and waterproof adhesives, making it resistant to delamination, fungal attack, and warping.
Key Features:
- Exceptional Water Resistance – Made with waterproof adhesives that prevent deterioration from prolonged water exposure.
- Durability & Strength – Constructed with dense hardwood veneers, providing superior stability and load-bearing capacity.
- Minimal Defects – Marine plywood has fewer voids and knots, ensuring a uniform and robust structure.
- Meets Industry Standards – Often compliant with BS 1088 (British Standard) or other marine-grade certifications.
Common Applications:
- Boat Building – Used in ship hulls, decks, and marine structures.
- Docks & Piers – Ideal for waterfront construction due to its high resistance to rot and decay.
- Moisture-Prone Areas – Suitable for bathrooms, kitchens, and outdoor furniture.
Why Choose Waterproof Plywood?
