Why this board
BWR sits between MR and marine — and we build it to the line.
Fortified glue line
A melamine-fortified bond that shrugs off steam, splashes and humidity where ordinary MR ply would swell at the edges.
Gurjan / keruing hardwood
Dense hardwood face over a gap-free core — flat, screw-holding, and ready for laminate, veneer or paint.
The grade you ordered
BWR bonded to IS 303 — order after order, not relabelled down to MR between shipments. Container loads, FOB Cochin.
Questions buyers ask
BWR plywood, answered.
What is BWR plywood?
BWR (boiling-water-resistant) is an IS 303 commercial grade with a melamine-fortified glue line that resists steam, humidity and occasional wetting — the right board for kitchens and bathrooms.
What is the difference between BWR and MR plywood?
BWR uses a fortified glue line for humid areas; MR is urea-formaldehyde bonded for dry interiors and furniture. Same standard (IS 303), different water resistance. See MR commercial plywood →
Is BWR the same as marine plywood?
No. BWR resists humidity and occasional wetting; marine BWP (IS 710) is 100% phenolic and boiling-waterproof for constant water. IS 710 vs IS 303 explained →
What thickness, sizes and minimum order?
6–25 mm at 1220 × 2440 mm and custom cut-to-size, by the container load (FCL), FOB Cochin Port with documentation ready at dispatch.
