A new product, Deluxe Light Ply

This was a product we had made up for boat builders some time back, part of an on going
process of development. The product has just been through another phase and now meets some very high standards.

Its a five veneer layup on the 6mm, making it a stiff but light panel, the glue line is phenolic, so fully waterproof, boiling tests for 10 hours show no defects. The manufacturing factory meets very high emmision standards and their panels are CE approoved, the wood species used is also from a renewable source.


The picture shows a 6mm and 12mm panel, weight wise its about half the weight of okoume marine ply and while not as light as balsa wood its very much stronger.

Check the layup, balanced veneers and the 6mm panel is also a five ply, so very strong for its weight.
