Description
Film Faced Plywood refers to plywood that has been soaked in synthetic phenolic resin (PF) which gives the plywood higher resistance to moisture, abrasion, chemical degradation and fungal attack compared to ordinary plywood.
Commonly used in western countries as formwork for concrete but can also be used to manufacture furniture and other wood objects to be used in particularly damp environments such as bathrooms, toilets and changing rooms.
Note that the phenolic surface film is not “waterproof” and only slows the penetration of moisture.
