9mm Buffalo Phenolic Ply 2440 x 1220mm

Product Code:

ST_PHEN_PLY_09_BU

9mm Buffalo Board Birch Core Structural Phenolic Ply, Mesh/Smooth Face, (EN314-2 Class 3, EN636-2) (FSC Mix), 2440 x 1220mm

A phenolic resin impregnated film is pressed on both surfaces of the board under high pressure and temperature, smooth on one surface and a textured pattern is pressed onto the other. This imprinted wire mesh pattern improves slip resistance characteristics.

What is Phenolic Ply and why use it?

All panels are edge sealed, usually with acrylic paint, to minimise moisture penetration. These film faced plywood panels have improved resistance to abrasion, moisture penetration, chemicals, insects and fungi. They have a smooth, hygienic, easy to clean surface. Our stock sheets are normally dark brown.

This is a premium product, we also sell a range of phenolic ply made in China, the ply veneers are invariably a combination of eucalyptus or poplar. 

Applications for phenolic ply

We sell a surprising amount of phenolic ply, our regular customers are mainly using them for van linings, trailers and horse boxes, bases on industrial trolleys and flight cases. Other uses include formwork, interior design, furniture, shop fitting and joinery.

Phenolic ply is widely used outdoors but the colours are not totally UV resistant and may fade over time when exposed to strong sunlight. We normally keep 9mm, 12mm and 18mm in stock. Thinner ply sheets tend to flex and the film cracks providing less protection to the ply veneers.  If the film face isn't vital you could consider our Birch ply

How about cheaper Phenolic Ply?

We have found it increasingly difficult to source phenolic ply, especially with a birch core. This is primarily because of the situation in Eastern Europe (2023).
