Comparison of MR Grade & BWP Plywood

Plywood is a popular product due to its use as a building material. Although plywood can be categorized in a number of ways, water resistance is often cited as the standard. In this article, we will address two of its types such as Moisture Resistant Plywood / MR Plywood and Boiling Water Proof  Plywood / BWP Plywood.

As we compare MR grade and BWP grade plywood, we will discuss their unique features and figure out their appropriate use.

Comparison of MR Grade & BWP Plywood

Resistance to Termites

The adhesives and additives in MR grade plywood make it highly resistant to termites. In addition to being termite-proof, SharonPly MR grade plywood is backed by a warranty.

In contrast, BWP grade plywood comes with additional special properties, including a longer warranty period.

Certification by BIS

Both MR and BWR plywood come under a common BIS standard with no – IS – 303,

but the BWP plywood is special grade plywood with a BIS standard no  IS -710.

Water Resistant

Moisture-resistant plywood is resilient against humidity, but it is not waterproof.  It is ideally suited to locations that experience high levels of humidity.

Besides being completely waterproof, boiling waterproof plywood is extremely water-resistant. In spite of fluctuating weather conditions, BWP plywood can remain sturdy and resist delamination.

Pricing

MR Grade Plywood is comparatively cost-effective than BWP plywood. If used under controlled conditions, MR Grade Plywood performs as well as BWP Grade Plywood.

Solidity

In comparison to BWP grade plywood, MR plywood is strong, durable, and long-lasting, but its quality pales in stark contrast.

The strongest plywood on the market is BWP plywood. The strength of a plywood sheet is determined by the number of Plies, its Density and the quality of the resins and adhesives used.

Applicability suggestions of MR and BWP Plywood

MR-grade plywood is widely used in furniture manufacturing and interior design. Furniture made from this material includes beds, sofas, tables, chairs, wardrobes, and TV tables. Almost any kind of furniture can be built out of BWP plywood.

It is important to point out that MR and BWP plywood grades are both strong, durable, and long-lasting. It is, however, evident that BWP grade plywood has an edge.
