Plywood
Plywood is arguably the most versatile and durable building material available, and an essential commodity in both interior applications and exterior construction. National Plywood has been a pioneering force in the manufacture of plywood for over six decades, setting benchmarks that have become accepted as the gold standard across the country. Over time, we have perfected the manufacture of plywood to provide National with a distinct advantage at every step. Our plywood is synonymous with quality, durability and reliability.

Boiling Water Proof (BWP) Marine Plywood
Marine plywood, named so for its use in ship-building and other marine applications, is waterproof, making it perfect for areas exposed to moisture, both inside and outside. This product is capable of handling alternating wet & dry conditions without the risk of delamination, swelling, warping and rotting, even when submerged. With our use of carefully selected Dipterocarpus and Shorea assamica timber that give it strength and minimize core gaps, BWP grade phenol formaldehyde (PF) resin that makes it waterproof, and preservatives between every layer using the glue line preservation (GLP) process that protects it from insect infestation, National’s BWP marine plywood is dimensionally stable and extremely durable. This product conforms to IS 710 specifications.

Boiling Water Resistant (BWR) Plywood
National’s BWR plywood is made of 100% premium quality Dipterocarpus and Shorea assamica timber bonded with PF resin combined with preservatives – giving it the same characteristics as our BWP plywood. While BWP grade plywood is preferred for exterior applications, BWR grade is more commonly used in interior spaces, particularly kitchens and bathrooms, although it can be used in exterior applications too. This product conforms to IS 303 specifications.

Moisture Resistant (MR) Plywood
National’s MR plywood has excellent resistant to moisture and is a commercial grade plywood ideal for interior applications such as wall paneling, furniture and fittings, interior door skins and ceiling linings – wherever exposure to moisture is low. While more economical than marine plywood, our MR grade product is also composed of 100% premium quality Dipterocarpus and Shorea assamica timber, bonded with the best quality Melamine Urea Formaldehyde (MUF) resin and fixed with preservatives in the glue lines to prevent insect infestation. This product conforms to IS 303 specifications

Flexiply
Our futuristic R&D team has devised the innovative Flexiply, or flexible plywood, transforming sturdy, 100% hardwood timber into bendable plywood sheets that can be manipulated into any shape without chipping, cracking or peeling, thereby retaining their strength and durability. Flexiply can be provided with or without treatment of face, and can be stained, painted, plastered or veneered as per requirements.
Film Faced (Shuttering) Plywood
Shuttering plywood is highly densified waterproof plywood with a smooth film coating on either face, hence the name film faced. Manufactured with glue line preservatives and bonded with PF resin in each layer, our product is resistant to corrosion, insects, extreme temperatures and water. Its durability, load bearing capacity and ease of application makes it perfect for use in cement formworks and construction. It is used in the casting of ceilings, walls, slabs, beams, pillars, etc., and to build factories, warehouses, sewers, bridges and other foundation work. Available in thicknesses of 12mm (weighing 30 and 34 kgs) and 18mm (weighing 50 kgs), this product is as per IS 4990 specifications.
