BS1088 Certified Marine Plywood
ROCPLEX BS1088 Certified Marine Plywood
ROCPLEX BS1088 Certified Marine Plywood is built using selected hardwood veneers and WBP (Weather and Boil Proof) glue, fully complying with BS1088:2003 requirements. It undergoes precise construction and quality control to ensure uniform bonding, consistent thickness, and minimal internal defects.
The panel is constructed with multiple core layers and outer faces, arranged in cross-laminated fashion. This enhances dimensional stability and structural integrity under changing moisture and temperature conditions.
The adhesive used is phenolic-based resin, providing strong resistance to water immersion, humidity, and temperature fluctuation. Each sheet undergoes mechanical testing and visual inspection for core gaps, bonding quality, and surface finish.
The plywood offers a smooth sanded face, suitable for further coating or sealing. It resists rot and fungal growth in wet or submerged environments when properly treated. ROCPLEX offers sizes from 4mm to 25mm thickness and custom dimensions upon request.
This product meets international marine, construction, and export-grade plywood expectations. ROCPLEX ensures tight quality control and consistent standards for every batch.
