The most superior quality of ply available, marine ply is waterproof. It can be used in exterior applications as it does not get damaged even when immersed in water. The ply is also known as Boiling Waterproof (BWP) ply.
Marine plywood is the highest graded plywood in the plywood industry. This means that the quality of marine plywood is best among all kinds of plywood. The IS grade of marine plywood in India is IS710. Marine plywood, in layman language, is generally BWP or boiling waterproof plywood.
The name of these plywood suggests that these are used for the boat construction industry because they are highly resistant to water. Boats require a tremendous resistance to water. Hence, they are made to withstand long exposure to water. While BWP grade can do that, BWR can only resist exposure to water for a shorter span of time. BWP grade makes an ideal choice for homeowners and architects in making furniture for bathrooms and kitchens and other places that are frequently exposed to water.
