General Infomation of Okoume Core Plywood

Okume Face & Core (full okoume wood)  plywood is a special type of plywood that is commonly used in marine applications such as

boat building. It is made from select grades of  okume wood of the highest quality. Using this type of plywood can provide you with a

number of unique benefits. Consider the following advantages of  okume plywood to decide if it is right for your application.

1. Water Resistant glue  to be used. 

WBP gule OR phenolic gule

2. pliable

Another big advantage of okoume plywood is that it is highly pliable. This type of wood can be bent and still maintain its structural integrity,

not automatically snap or crack like a lot of the other types of plywood will. This is another reason that it is frequently used in boats, and

it widens its range of applications

3. Impact Resistance

Marine okoume  plywood also offers superior impact resistance. The outside layer of the plywood is extremely hard and dense. This means that if you

drop something on it or something runs into it, it will not necessarily dent or break. This makes it an ideal choice for projects that will undergo

a lot of regular wear and tear. You do not have to worry about replacing the plywood a few years down the line. It should be able to stand up to

a lot of abuse without many issues.

4. Surface Finish

With this type of plywood, you will also get superior surface finish characteristics. Many plywoods can not be finished smoothly, which could make

it too rough for some types of project. With marine plywood, you can get a very smooth finish that is soft to the touch. Not only will you have to

worry about splintering when you build with it, but you can also paint or stain it to create any look that you want to go for. The design options with

this type of plywood surface are virtually limitless.

Fast planing boats are subjected to serious bottom pressure and marine plywood should be used for the hull panels if

only for mechanical reasons. The designer of your planing power boat probably specified marine plywood for that reason.

Large displacement type boats that spend all their time in the water, at the dock or at sea, should also use marine plywood.

While the fiberglass and resin will protect plywood, any scratch or dent may allow moisture to creep in and

damage cheaper plywood. Marine plywood will give you peace of mind in addition to all the advantages listed above.
