BOROTIK provides two types of moisture resistant commercial type of plywood that is well suited for interior applications like most type of interior doors, furniture, cabinets and shelves. They are Moisture Resistant (MR) and Boiling Water Resistant (BWR) grades. They exhibit high dimensional stability, strength and negligible warpage and distortion due to our unique wood seasoning technique. It is chemically treated to be termite and borer resistant. It can easily withstand all the water exposure encountered during its intended application. Among the two grades, BWR offers better protection against humidity and water exposure with a minor increase in cost.

Features:
Advantages:
- Borotik chemical treatment and seasoning eliminates distortion, warping and maintains dimensional stability
- They are chemically treated to be impervious to termite, borer and fungi attack
- They have high strength to weight ratio
- The plies act as crack arrestors which prevent crack propagation through the plies and substantially improve the service life of the plywood.
- The panel shear of plywood is nearly double that of solid timber due its cross laminated structure. This makes plywood a highly effective material to use in gussets for portal frames, webs of fabricated beams and as bracing panels.
- The panel shear strength of plywood is approximately twice that of solid wood. This is due to its cross ply or cross laminated structure. This makes it an indispensible material for structural applications.
