Phenolic plywood is a sheet material made of birch, poplar or eucalyptus plywood overlaid with multilayer phenol film. The number of veneers will depend on which ply thickness is selected. Sometimes the phenolic ply is smooth both sides, but more typically smooth one side and mesh the other.
Phenolic ply offers wear resistance up to ten times compared to the standard surface, thanks to how the boards are engineered. Phenolic plywood sheets are edge-sealed using acrylic paint to reduce moisture penetration. These film-veneered plywood mesh boards have enhanced resistance to insects, fungi, moisture penetration and chemicals. Their surfaces are also smooth and easy to maintain.
To make mesh plywood, a phenolic resin-impregnated film is hard-pressed on both surfaces of the plies under intense temperature and pressure. Typically, the wire mesh pattern enhances the slip-resistance characteristic of the mesh plywood.
Although our entry-level phenolic plys are normally sourced from China, the Latvian phenolic birch plywood is a better quality. The Latvian ply uses higher quality birch for core veneers, while lower price plys use are normally constructed from eucalyptus.
So, where is the phenolic plywood used? Plywood mesh is pretty versatile and can be used in various parts, mainly in applications that need rough surfaces that are highly resistant to wear and tear. As such, mesh plywood is preferred for transport applications such as trailer and truck flooring, ship decking, van flooring, train flooring, bus flooring, horseboxes, flight cases etc.
Other applications include joinery, formwork, furniture, shopfitting, interior design, industrial floors, and storage racks.
