WBP Plywood is one kind of Commercial Plywood from Vietnam, but the difference is the Glue. WBP Plywood is used Melamine (MUF) Glue or Phenolic Glue that makes the plywood sheets Water Boiled Proof. Thus, it’s more durable than MR Commercial Plywood in humidity conditions. This is plywood that could be re-used 1-2 times on the construction formwork site or durable in the outdoor condition for a long time.
Recently, WBP plywood become a hot item for construction formwork as an optimal solution for all importers. Let’s find out the reason with Fomex Global in this article.
1/ WBP plywood has a reasonable price
When it comes to comparing with other alternative products (film faced plywood, steel frame…), the WBP plywood has the most competitive price because of its cheap material and cheap Vietnamese labor:
- Face/Back: Birch / Bintagor / Okume / Pine
- Core: Hardwood (Acacia, Eucalyptus, Mixed)
- Glue: WBP Melamine/Phenolic
In a short building/construction, the constructor requires formwork plywood to have 1-2 times of usage, WBP plywood is the right choice.
2/ Guaranteed quality in WBP plywood
The production process of WBP plywood includes 2 times for hot-press, 2 times for cold-press, and 1 time for sanding core, which create the strongness, flatness, and adhesiveness for WBP plywood.
In addition, WBP plywood is made from a strong core of hardwood: Acacia and Eucalyptus, so the plywood sheets can beer high pressure during construction.
3/ WBP plywood is the waterproof plywood
Thanks to the technology of mixing melamine glue to increase the water-resistance of the plywood sheet, the WBP plywood can be used in the outdoor environment, and can withstand rain and sun.
