18mm Phenolic Plywood Sheets

Frequently Asked Questions

The key difference is the type of resin used for bonding the wood veneers. Phenolic ply uses phenolic resins which provide superior moisture resistance, durability, and anti-slip properties compared to ordinary plywood that uses less durable adhesives.

The anti-slip surface of phenolic plywood features a mesh-like pattern or texture that creates a roughened surface with increased friction. This texture interrupts the smooth surface, providing tiny grooves and ridges that grip onto footwear or tyres, preventing slips and falls in wet, oily, or slippery conditions. The anti-slip surface ensures a secure footing, enhancing safety in industrial, commercial, and recreational applications.

Please note that only one side of the plywood face is phenolic. The opposing side is non-textured. 

Yes, phenolic board is highly water-resistant and can withstand prolonged exposure to moisture without deterioration or delamination, making it ideal for wet environments and outdoor applications. It is however important to seal the edges if exposed to wet and humid environments.

While phenolic plywood is not completely fireproof, it does have excellent fire-retardant properties due to the phenolic resins used in its construction, making it more fire-resistant compared to regular plywood.

No, phenolic board and marine plywood are not the same. Marine plywood uses water-resistant resins but does not offer the same level of moisture resistance and durability as phenolic board, which is specifically designed for wet and harsh environments.
