Why this board
BWR sits between MR and marine — and we hold it to the line.
Fortified glue line
A fortified bond for the humid exposure stated in the specification. Seal exposed edges and select finishes and fixings for the installation; a BWR bond does not make the finished assembly waterproof.
Gurjan / keruing hardwood
Hardwood face and core, with surface preparation and finished tolerance agreed for laminate, veneer or paint. Confirm fixing positions and trial critical fixings on the proposed construction.
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 moisture-resistant bonding used in suitable dry or sheltered work. Both grades can be specified to IS 303, but the core, face and intended use must also fit the job. For dry interiors and furniture, see semi-hardwood plywood; our standard commercial / packing panel is a different construction.
Is BWR the same as marine plywood?
No. BWR is a general-purpose grade. A marine order must identify the required marine standard and supporting documents; the grade name alone does not establish marine suitability. IS 710 vs IS 303 explained →
What thickness, sizes and minimum order?
6–25 mm at 1220 × 2440 mm and custom cut-to-size. Within India we load a full truckload ex-factory from Perumbavoor; for export, one 20 ft or 40 ft container FOB Cochin Port with documentation ready at dispatch. Part-loads and LCL consolidation are available where the route and quantity allow, confirmed on the quote.
