Custom panels on request
Marine multilayer, like other multilayers, is sold in panels with thicknesses from 3 to 50 mm and various formats. The wood that makes up the panel is mainly of African origin (e.g. the okoumè tree) or of Eastern European origin (birch) or even American (e.g. Chilean pine).
To make the whole of these veneers water-resistant, a phenolic glue is used which makes the panels waterproof.
In addition to the different types of wood, performance also comes from the use of water-resistant glues to join the different layers of wood.
Advantages of marine plywood
The first great advantage is certainly its water resistance, which makes this panel ideal for use in those humid environments where “standard” plywood could not be used without rotting.
Just like “standard” plywood panels, it remains easily workable with both hand tools and machines (including numerically controlled ones).
Another point in favor of marine plywood is its resistance to salinity, with this material you certainly have more resistance than using a poplar panel…
Disadvantages of marine plywood
Unfortunately, the type of processing and the glues used affect not only the quality of the plywood panel, but also its price. However, the cost is more than proportionate to the benefits and quality.
