Detailed explanation-1: -The IS grade of marine plywood in India is IS710. Marine plywood, in layman language, is generally BWP or boiling waterproof plywood. The name of these plywood suggests that these are used for the boat construction industry because they are highly resistant to water.
Detailed explanation-2: -Marine Grade Plywood is an exterior structural panel, sanded on both sides, most commonly made from Douglas fir or Pine. Other species of hardwood may also be used for marine plywood, usually in the Marine (boating) industry.
Detailed explanation-3: -MDF has a better finish than marine ply. Most of the time it’s pre-laminated with a decorative surface at the time of its manufacture. MDF looks better, but Marine grade plywood is basically meant for exterior applications such as boat-building, and not for building showy furniture.
